Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a septic tank be cleaned?

On average, septic tanks should be cleaned every 3 to 5 years. However, this can vary depending on the size of your tank, how many people are using the system, and how much wastewater is being generated.

Neglecting regular cleaning can lead to backups, foul odours and system damage. If you're unsure, it’s worth getting an appraisal to assess the current condition of your tank.
What happens if I don’t clean my septic tank?
If a septic tank is not cleaned regularly, sludge and solids build up over time, leading to blockages and potential overflows. This can cause:
- Unpleasant odours inside and outside the home
- Sewage backing up into sinks or toilets
- Damage to the drain field and surrounding environment
Ignoring your tank puts your property and health at risk, and can result in expensive emergency repairs.
How do I know if my septic tank is full?
Common signs that your tank is reaching capacity include:
- Gurgling drains or slow-draining sinks and showers
- Wet patches or pooling water near your septic area
- Strong sewage smells in or around your home
If you notice any of these, it’s best to organise a cleanout before the problem escalates.
Can I clean my own septic tank?
Septic tank cleaning is not a DIY job. It involves handling hazardous waste and using specialised equipment to safely and effectively remove waste. Licensed professionals:
- Understand how to manage different system types
- Use vacuum trucks to remove waste without spillage
- Ensure proper disposal under environmental regulations
Attempting to clean your own tank risks personal harm and environmental contamination.
