The septic tank emptying process involves several steps to ensure your system functions efficiently. A professional service will first locate the septic tank and open the access lid. Using a specialised vacuum tanker, they will pump out the accumulated sludge, scum, and effluent. After the tank is emptied, the technician may inspect the interior for signs of damage, such as cracks or leaks, and clean the tank to remove any remaining residue. The waste is then transported and disposed of following local regulations. This thorough process ensures your septic system remains in good working order and prevents future issues.
