CESSPIT EMPTYING AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL DORSET

Regular emptying reduces the risk of blocked drains or overflows.

When properties cannot connect to the mains drainage system or have a septic tank with a soakaway, they use cesspits to store sewage.

A cesspit (also known as cesspool) is a sealed tank which will need very regular emptying.
Solid particles can rapidly build up and form a thick layer on the surface inside your cesspit, even if it is not full up. This then can lead to problems such as system breakdowns or slow-flowing water. This work must be carried out by a licensed waste disposal contractor, like ourselves!

How is a cesspit emptied?

Typically, our team connects the tanker to the cesspit and utilizes a robust vacuum pump to extract sewage and wastewater from the tank. Subsequently, we transport the contents to a treatment facility for proper disposal or processing.

What are the signs that a cesspit needs emptying?

Signs that a cesspit needs emptying include foul odors emanating from the tank or surrounding area, slow drainage or backup of wastewater in sinks and toilets, and pooling of sewage or wastewater on the ground above the tank.

Can I empty a cesspit myself?
