Cesspit Emptying in Maidstone
A cesspit is a sealed holding tank with no outlet, so everything that leaves your home stays in it until it is pumped out. In the rural parts of the borough, from Headcorn, Marden and Staplehurst in the Weald to Lenham and Harrietsham below the North Downs, many homes depend on one.
A busy household can fill a cesspit in a matter of weeks, which is why most of our Maidstone customers choose a regular collection rather than waiting for warning signs. We agree a schedule based on your tank size and how many people live in the property, so you never have to think about it.
Septic Tank & Treatment Plant Emptying
A septic tank separates solids from waste water. The liquid soaks away into a drainage field while sludge builds up in the tank, and if that sludge is not removed it can be carried into the soakaway and block it, which is expensive to put right. We recommend desludging a septic tank about once a year.
We also empty and maintain sewage treatment plants, which need emptying annually and a regular service of their mechanical and electrical parts. Not sure which system you have? Our team can identify it and plan the right maintenance schedule with you through our cesspit and septic tank service.
