Cess Pit Emptying / Cleaning

SOS Draincare Ltd can empty, clean and take away your waste in accordance with the correct guidelines and procedures required and issue waste transfer disposal tickets. A septic tank is a retention vessel designed to receive sewage, hold it for a period and then release a clarified effluent. Sewage is a mixture of toilet wastes, kitchenwastes and so called grey wastes i.e. liquids which include washing, bath and washing machine wastes. A septic tank is primarily a liquid/solid separation system, although there may be some limited biological activity within the sludge and the liquid interface.

Cesspools act as a solution for locations without mains drainage where the discharge of treated effluent is not permissable due to unsuitable ground conditions, or where infrequent use such as for a holiday home would prevent the use of a packaged treatment plant.

As the name septic implies, the sewage entering the tank becomes septic. If you look this up in a dictionary or thesaurus, you will see the alternative words - putrid,toxic, noxious, unsanitary, rotten, decaying. It is possible that at sometime, smells will be detected from somewhere in the drainage system. These can be minimised by correct installation, location and by controlling the sewage.
