Cesspit & Septic Tank Emptying Prices

The average cost of emptying a cesspit or a septic tank is usually around £180 - £275 depending on the size, type and condition of the tanks. For example, if a cesspit is leaking this can mean untreated wastewater is contaminating the ground potentially seeping into waterways. In these instances, you should contact professionals immediately as this can make people and animals extremely sick. The type of tank will also affect the cost, multi-chamber tanks can have a more complex design than single chamber tanks, which means they can often warrant a higher cost to empty and/or clean and inspect.

What Is a Cesspit?

A cesspit is a special underground container that is used to store and treat wastewater from a building or property. It is kind of like a big, underground bucket that holds all of the water and waste that comes from your sinks, toilets, and showers. The cesspit uses special bacteria to break down the waste and make it safe to be disposed of. Our professional cesspit services use advanced wastewater treatment technology to make sure that your cesspit is working properly and safely. We can clean and inspect your cesspit to make sure that it is not getting clogged or leaking, and we can fix any problems that we find. It's important to have your cesspit cleaned and inspected regularly to make sure that it is working well and keeping your property safe and healthy. What is a Septic Tank? A septic tank can be either a concrete, plastic or fibrerglass chamber located underground. Domestic wastewater, otherwise known as sewage, flows into the tank and goes through a very basic filtering process to sort liquid from solid waste. Septic tanks need regular emptying, much like cesspits.
