Your septic tank or cesspit must be emptied regularly to keep it working properly, and avoid blockages and overflows. How often depends on the size and type of your tank, and the number of occupants living at your property. We recommend emptying your tank at least every 6 to 12 months to remove any build-up of sludge.
