Septic tank information!!!
Septic tanks can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes ranging from a 4 all the way up to a 35 people septic tank. There are different shapes as well like the onion shaped tank or the low profile tank.
The plastic that makes the septic tank is approximately 5mm thick. Some can be made from metal, these tend to be the larger ones that are suitable for large buildings with more then 15 people.
You can even get a sewage treatment plant that fits on top of the septic tank and treats the water and turns into clean water before releasing back into ground water.
Septic tanks should be buried about 1ft underground and away from any tree roots. When installing a septic tank in should be covered in gravel with a layer of grass on top, remember not to park a car or put patio paving slabs on top as the weight could damage the tank which you don’t want to happen as this could cost a lot of money in repair or possibly replacement of tank.
Try getting the septic tank emptied every year as this will ensure that it is kept in top condition and in perfect working order.
Make sure the hatch is easy to get to as well, this is needed to perform a septic tank emptying service otherwise they can’t perform a proper empty, which could cost more money.
Also when ordering a septic tank emptying service try and find out what tanker they will be sending, you don’t want a massive 6000 gallon tanker to come and empty a small 2600 litre septic tank or a 2000 gallon tanker to come and empty a 4600 gallon septic tank. Most companies can supply a spec sheet on the tanker they will be sending out to you like Tardis Environmental so that you have an idea what kind of tanker will be coming.
