Overflowing gully traps can mean a blocked inlet line to the septic tank, this can be caused by toilet paper, build up of fat or tree roots.
Things you can check before calling us:
- When was your tank last cleaned? if it has been over 5 years since your tank was cleaned, your tank could simply just be full and require an empty
- Take the top off the Bucan (mushroom next to the tank), Check that there is no build up of toilet paper in the bottom of the pipe – If there is get a crowbar or long stick and try and push the build up down this can often be the blockage and will save you having to get us out.
If the above is not the problem you need to give us a call, we will come out with our specialised water blaster and will clean the line for you.
This process is normally straight forward and simple with our drain cleaning head (Jetta Head), it will break through tree roots and fat deposits clearing the blockage, while cleaning the pipe walls all at the same time.
