Septic Tank Emptying & Servicing in Leeds

Septic Tanks exist where main sewers are not present and can be found mainly in rural areas around Leeds. The septic tank stores sewage solids using chemicals that break down the waste.

When broken down, the remaining liquid passes through the outlet pipe to a soakaway. When the storage tank gets full, the septic tank must be cleaned out.

Regular emptying reduces the risk of the septic tank overflowing and The Environment Agency issued guidance recommending that you arrange for a septic tank emptying once a year.

Depending on the size of the tank it may need to be emptied more frequently depending on the number of people living in the property.
