Septic Tank Emptying Services

We provide septic tank emptying nationwide. The best way to maintain your septic tank is to empty the tank before its too late and causes drainage problems. Despite the unsavoury name, they do a wonderful nature-friendly job. They work “naturally” by biodegrading your waste over time. Despite their clever design, they do at times, need emptying.

When does a septic tank need emptying?

Generally, your nose will alert you, especially during the summer months. Sometimes you find the ground can be wet around the area where the tank is buried. Also, your sinks, washing machines etc will empty slower than usual. It is often known to empty your septic tank at least once a year. That’s when it’s time to call Tardis and arrange to have the tank emptied.

Cesspit Emptying

Septic Tank Emptying is also refered to as cesspit emptying. When it comes to emptying a septic tank, we need to know the lay of the land in advance. Why? We send large tankers (26 – 32 tonnes) out daily to empty a variety of vessels. One problem we often encounter is a property where an HGV has no chance of access. We do need to know for example, how far the tank servicing port is from the road.

Alternatively, we have a small towable service unit that we can bring along with a Land Rover, so if we know in advance, the job will run in a smooth manner. If you are unsure about this, please give us a call and we can sort this before arriving on the job and ultimately emptying your tank quicker!
