How does a Septic tank cleaner work?

The best septic tank cleaning specialists in Remark use vacuum trucks with a pump and a heavy-duty hose to remove the sludge inside your tank. One of our highly efficient experts will arrange a time convenient for you and when they arrive on site you should buckle up for the journey. They’ll begin by doing routine checks and consulting with you about the potential costs ahead. Once the technicalities are ironed out, they will do the work of inserting the hose in the tank through the open lids and connecting it to your tank in order to remove all the contents of the septic compartments. The suction action will transfer waste from the tank to the truck for safe disposal at a place that is too far removed for you to worry about. We’ll also work towards properly removing waste from the walls and floor of the tank with specialized tools. Regular cleaning of your septic tank will prolong the service life of your tank system and protect you against faults and failures that may pop up unexpectedly. All you have to do is find a trusted septic cleaning company that can help you navigate installation, cleaning and upkeep. We’ll try and wrap up some of the most important things to know here but your best bet is to give us a call. Always!

How to Clean a Septic Tank?

The first and only thing you should do is pick up the phone to call your local septic tank cleaners in Renmark or the surrounds to handle the job for you. The company that comes to clean or pump out your septic tank will open the main lid of the tank to perform a thorough pump out, clean, and inspection of the tank. It’s essential that you use experienced professionals who can ensure the highest quality cleaning and show you the benefits of regular tank cleaning. The entire process isn’t a quick job though and involves a few aspects, including:

1. Main lid removal
2. A full pump out of the septic tank with our trucks
3. Cleaning and scrape down to remove accumulated sludges
4. Tank inspection to identify and advise on any repairs or maintenance needed

5 signs that your septic tank needs a pump

• Water waste overflows out from the tank openings
• You can spot wet areas or puddles at the top of the septic tank
• There is a strong unpleasant smell near the septic tank (you won’t miss this one)
• The grass around the tank entry points is greener and thicker than the rest of the lawn
• Your drains are working much slower than usual from multiple points on the premises

Septic tank overflow only happens when there is a serious issue with the system’s drainage outlet but that can only be determined if you call out a professional to check it out. To contribute to decreased chances of overflow, the persons on the premises should make an effort to use the water on your residential or commercial property effectively and sparingly to make sure that you aren’t causing strain on your septic tank. This is only one of many steps you can take but we have a more detailed guide for your reference to help you in preventing your tank’s malfunction in a serious way.
