Septic Tank Emptying, Cesspit and Treatment Services
Comprehensive septic tank, cesspit and small sewerage treatment works maintenance services from your truly local drain cleaning company, CG Pearce Ltd
Owning a home in a rural or semi-rural location without access to the main sewerage means you are responsible for arranging the maintenance of your septic tank, cesspool or small treatment works. Septic tanks and cesspools come in all shapes and sizes and have different maintenance needs, including the frequency of use and other factors. As a septic tank owner, you also have further legal obligations to consider, such as correctly maintaining your system to ensure it’s fit for purpose and, more importantly, not polluting any source of groundwater or watercourse.
Our comprehensive emptying and de-sludging services include a full appraisal of the condition of your tank or system. This includes an inspection of the cover area, which is critical for safety, the condition of the tank and system (as far as can be done without our camera system) and any other recommendations you will need to keep your system running as efficiently as possible. If you are not aware of how your system works or is configured, we’re happy to provide you with the information when we visit.
After our initial contact, we will try to establish the size of your system so we can give you a better idea of the cost. We will then attend your property, conduct the septic tank emptying or de-sludging and work through an inspection checklist to make sure it’s running at its best. We will then provide you with a waste transfer note to keep as a legal record of our visit and your maintenance.

- Domestic and commercial cesspool and septic tank emptying/de-sludging
