Desludging
Desludging is an essential part of maintaining your treatment plant. By law, homeowners must ensure that their wastewater treatment plant is maintained to make sure it does not pose a risk to public health or the environment. Both septic tanks and wastewater treatment plants require regular desludging. This should only be carried out by a licensed and competent company. We recommend Kerry Drain Services for your desludging service.
How often should your treatment plant or septic tank be emptied?
In general, on average about 1.5 to 3 years. This depends on a few factors:
- How much usage in a household?
- How well are the bacteria working?
- What is the size of the Treatment plant or septic tank?
It makes a difference whether there is a single person or a larger family with children living in a house. In other words, the more people in a house the more often your Unit may need to be emptied.
