Do i need to dig up my septic tank lids or do you emtpy it through the vent?

Our preference is to expose and lift the lids on the septic tank, we do this for a couple of reasons:

• Opening the lids on the tank allows us to:
  • ensure we are removing all of the soilds and sludge from the septic tank.
  • we can complete an inspection of your septic tank, ensuring that we can catch any potential problems before they become a problem.

• Emptying via the vent restricts:
  • us from getting all of the soilds and sludge from the tank.
    • We cannot get the movement out of the hose in order to clean your tank properly, meaning that over a period of time the solids will build up in the tank potentially causing blockages.
    • We cannot complete an inspection of the septic tank
      • this restricts us from ensuring there are no cracks appearing in the walls or floor of the septic tank.
      • we cannot see if there are tree roots getting into the tank
      • we cannot check if your inlet and outlet T are in good condition
        • If your inlet or outlet T’s are broken, this will allow solids to make their way into your pipe work causing potential blockages
