Septic Tank Emptying
At Cammack & Wilcox, we have years of experience in septic tank emptying, septic tank cleaning and septic tank maintenance. A septic tank is simply a buried watertight tank which receives, and provides primary treatment of, raw waste. It works by separating and retaining settleable and floatable solids. Grease and other light materials float to the top and form a scum layer. Effluent, with a very low solid content, leaves via the outlet "T-pipe" to the soak away. The organic solids undergo liquefaction and are partially broken down into dissolved acids and gases.
A septic tank consists of five components :
- a sewer pipe that carries waste from your home to the tank
- the tank itself
- a pipe carrying the treated waste water from the tank to your soak away/drain field
- a soakaway to disperse the treated water
- the soil/media around the soakaway that provides the final treatment
You can extend the life of your septic tank with septic tank cleaning and watching what goes into it. This means NO food scraps, coffee grinds, sands, gravel, greases, oils, etc. Beware of chemicals or solvents that will kill the helpful bacteria in your tank. Finally, have your tank emptied annually as sludge and scum must not be allowed to accumulate and enter the soakaway. Our septic tank emptying service can extend the life of your septic tank, saving you money and problems with associated costs.
