A septic tank is located underground to store and treat the property’s wastewater. Waste treatment is done through biological decomposition, settlement, and drainage. It allows the drainage of partially treated effluent while holding the sludge into a specifically designed hopper within the tank. This sludge and fecal matter will keep accumulating inside the tank which requires emptying and cleaning at least once per annum.
However, cleaning a septic tank can be as unpleasant as it is complex. Containing toxic and decomposed biological substances, a septic tank needs expert, trained and experienced hands to clean it safely.

Septic tanks require regular cleaning to avoid health and environmental risks due to overflowing or malfunctioning. The following signs indicate that your septic tank needs to be cleaned:
According to the Environment Agency (EA), the frequency of cleaning a septic tank depends on the number of people living in a house, the tank’s size, and the tank’s usage. However, it is suggested that septic tanks should be emptied and cleaned at least once a year.
You can take some basic steps to reduce the chances of septic tank blockages and other problems by not washing harmful objects and harsh cleaning products down the drain. You should ensure the toilet flush is limited to 3P’s (Pee, Poo, and Paper).
The cost of septic tank cleaning depends on your property’s location and the volume of waste required to be collected, usually ranging between £175 to £275.
Septic tank cleaning can be done by using powerful vacuum tankers for sludge and waste removal; jet cleaning can also be undertaken to clear and restore the soakaway.
To ensure effective operations of your septic tank, you should keep a check on items that should not enter into it, such as baby wipes, bandages and plasters, cotton buds, chemicals, bleaches, cleaning liquids, cleaning wipes, diapers, fats, oils, and grease, food waste, needles, syringes, and sharp objects, paint and flammable liquids, plastic bags, sanitary products, tiling grout, plaster, and cement, so that the process of biological separation does not get disrupted.
