Unlike septic tanks, cesspits have no outlet and simply collect waste water until they are full. A typical household cesspit may need emptying every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on usage and tank size. Failure to empty your cesspit regularly can result in overflow, foul odours, groundwater contamination and potential prosecution under environmental regulations. Regular emptying is both a legal requirement and essential for protecting your property and the local environment.
Our vacuum tanker team arrives at an agreed time, connects to your cesspit access point and removes the contents safely and efficiently. We dispose of all waste at licensed treatment facilities in full compliance with environmental regulations. After emptying, we can inspect your cesspit for any structural issues, cracks or damage that may require repair, helping you avoid costly problems in the future.
Beyond regular emptying, cesspits require periodic inspection and maintenance. Cracks, leaks and structural deterioration can contaminate surrounding soil and groundwater, potentially resulting in enforcement action from your local authority. Our engineers can assess the condition of your cesspit and recommend repairs or, where necessary, replacement options including conversion to a modern sewage treatment plant.
