Cesspit & Septic Tank Emptying in Sittingbourne

D BODY Ltd empties cesspits, septic tanks and sewage treatment plants across Sittingbourne and the wider Swale area. Many homes and farms in the countryside around the town are not on mains drainage, and our family-run team has been looking after systems like theirs for over 30 years.

We reach Sittingbourne from our Maidstone base via the A249, and we operate 24/7 for urgent call-outs.

Septic Tank Emptying in the Villages Around Sittingbourne

South of the town, villages such as Borden, Bredgar, Tunstall, Rodmersham, Milstead, Hartlip and Lynsted sit among farmland and orchards where off-mains drainage is common. Most septic tanks there need desludging about once a year so that solids do not build up and block the drainage field.

We empty your tank and advise on a sensible maintenance plan, whether you have a septic tank, a cesspit or a sewage treatment plant.

Signs Your Cesspit or Septic Tank Needs Emptying

  • Sinks, showers or toilets draining slowly
  • Unpleasant smells near the tank or around the garden
  • Gurgling noises from drains
  • Wet or unusually green patches over the drainage field
  • Water pooling around the manhole cover

If you notice any of these, book an emptying as soon as you can. Leaving it can lead to overflows and damage to your soakaway.

Cesspit Emptying in Sittingbourne

Unlike a septic tank, a cesspit has no soakaway: it simply stores everything until it is pumped out, so it needs emptying much more often. Our cesspit and septic tank service offers regular scheduled collections and one-off emptying. Domestic customers can book online by entering their postcode and choosing a tank volume of up to 2,000, 3,000 or 4,000 gallons.

Other Services in Sittingbourne & Swale

We also provide drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys for homes, and interceptor cleaning, tanker hire and confined space work for businesses around Eurolink, Kemsley and Ridham Dock. With Milton Creek and the Swale close by, our flood and spill response teams are on hand too.
