What Is a Septic Tank & Cesspit?

A septic tank collects and partially treats wastewater on-site before dispersal into a drainage field, while a cesspit stores waste in a sealed chamber when no drainage field is available. Both require regular care—neglect leads to overflows, foul odours, and potential environmental contamination.

Septic Tank and Cesspit Services - FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Septic Tank and Cesspit Services? Check out our FAQs to find out about some answers to general questions

Most septic tanks should be emptied every 12 to 18 months, depending on the size of the tank and the number of people using the system. Regular emptying helps prevent overflows, odours, and system failure.

A septic tank processes wastewater and allows partially treated water to drain into a soakaway system, while a cesspit simply stores waste with no outlet. Cesspits require more frequent emptying, often every few weeks or months, depending on usage.

Warning signs include slow drains, unpleasant smells, soggy ground near the tank, or waste backing up into your property. If you’re unsure, a professional inspection can assess the system’s condition.
