As much as our drivers would appreciate you to have your lids exposed before we get there to empty your tank. it is not a requirement.
Our drivers are happy to expose and recover your tank lids up for you as part of our service.
Is there additional charges for SJ Allen Ltd to expose the lids for me?
The short answer is no we do not charge to expose the lids on your septic tank, unless our team are there for more than 1 hour trying to expose the lids because:
- your tank lids are extremely deep
- your tank lids are under a gravel driveway or pathway
- your tank is buried in hard clay
In some cases we may suggest bringing in the aid of a small excavator or require additional staff to assist with the task.
If you have a hard to get to septic tank we would suggest after the next cleaning of your septic tank you box up your lids meaning that the next time you need your tank cleaned there will not be any digging required, our team members will be more than happy to provide you with some advise on the day of how to get this achieved and the requirements we would have for accessability, or feel free to give us a call to discuss some options for this.
