Why is access required to the septic tank's main lid when there is IO visible?
For a thorough septic tank pumping service, access to the main lid of the tank is required. This allows us to pump both chambers of the tank effectively.
While pumping through an Inspection Opening (IO) may seem more convenient since it doesn’t require digging up the lid, it typically only allows access to one side of the tank. This method prevents the operator from seeing what is being extracted, breaking up waste, and properly removing sludge and solids. As a result, there is a risk only the liquid may be extracted, leaving behind sludge that can set solid, impacting the longevity of your septic tank..
Why is access to water/garden hose required?
To effectively pump the contents of your septic tank, the waste needs to be in a liquid form.
Over time, the contents can dry out and thicken. When this happens, our driver may need to use a garden hose to add water to the tank in order to bring its contents into a pumpable liquid consistency.
Where is pumping waste disposed of?
Waste is discharged at an approved TasWater Waste Water Treatment Plant.
Why do septic tanks require pumping every 3-5 years
Over time, sludge and solids accumulate at the bottom of the tank. Excess sludge and solids can enter the outlet chamber, exiting to the system’s drainage trenches causing blockages, potentially requiring replacement. A full tank can back-up into the pipes into your home, leading to unpleasant odours and slow drains. In severe cases the sewerage can come back up through the drains into your home.
Regular pumping removes this buildup, ensuring that your septic system continues to operate efficiently and prolonging its lifespan.
Why is it necessary to refill poly & fibreglass tanks with water?
Refilling poly and fiberglass tanks two-thirds with water is crucial to prevent them from being displaced by ground pressure.
These tanks have soft sides, making them susceptible to lifting, especially when the surrounding soil is saturated with water. Without the weight of water inside, the tank can be pushed upward, potentially damaging the connected plumbing. Keeping the tank filled helps to anchor it in place, ensuring the system remains stable and operational.
