Serving the South West of England

Septic tanks play a crucial role in rural or remote areas where it’s not feasible to connect to the main sewage pipes provided by the local authorities. These structures serve as personal sewage treatment facilities, particularly in places where connection to the main sewer system is impractical or too costly. It’s vital to understand the workings of these tanks, as they are essential for maintaining healthy, sanitary living conditions.

Septic tanks work by treating wastewater from the household, which flows into the tank at one end and leaves the other. The primary function of these tanks is to separate solids from liquid waste. When the wastewater enters the tank, the heavy solid particles settle at the bottom and form a layer known as sludge. Lighter particles, like oils and grease, rise to the surface and create a layer referred to as scum. The middle layer features relatively cleaner water, which is then discharged into a drain field.

The installation, management, and maintenance of septic tanks require a good understanding of their workings. Regular inspection and pumping out of the tank help to prevent a build-up of solids which could cause damage to the system or contamination of the groundwater. The proper use and upkeep of septic tanks contribute to environmental sustainability and public health, emphasising their importance in our daily lives; in rural areas where the main sewer system is inaccessible.
