How often do septic tanks require maintenance?

Septic tanks typically need professional maintenance every 3-5 years, but this can vary based on factors like tank size, household usage and local regulations. Regular inspections and pump-outs help prevent clogs and maintain the system's efficiency, ensuring its long-term functionality.

How do septic tanks work?

Septic tanks treat household wastewater by separating solids and liquids. Wastewater enters the tank, solids settle to the bottom and bacteria break them down. Liquids flow into a drain field where they filter through soil, further purifying.

What is checked in a septic tank service?

During a septic tank service, professionals typically inspect the tank for signs of damage, check the levels of solids and scum, assess the drainage system and ensure proper tank ventilation. If necessary, they'll pump out accumulated solids and clean the tank. This helps maintain the system's efficiency and longevity.

My septic tank system smells bad. What does this mean?

A foul odour from your septic tank system could indicate a problem like a blockage, excessive solids or a malfunction. It's crucial to address this promptly as it may lead to sewage backups or environmental contamination.

Proper care and maintenance of your septic tank are essential to the health and wellbeing of your Tamworth property. We provide regular inspections, pumping and maintenance services to ensure your septic system operates at peak efficiency.

Septic tanks are underground wastewater treatment systems commonly used in areas without access to municipal sewage systems. They collect and break down household sewage and wastewater, separating solids from liquids. Beneficial bacteria in the tank digest organic matter, purifying the water before it's discharged into a drain field or leach field.

You should get a septic tank if you live in a rural area without sewage infrastructure or if you want more control over your wastewater treatment. Properly maintained septic tanks can be cost-effective and environmentally friendly, but neglecting maintenance can lead to pollution and costly repairs.
