Septic Tank & Cesspit Emptying
Years of Experience in Complex Drainage Systems
With years of experience in wastewater, NRC has extensive knowledge in handling complex drainage services.
Our expert team, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment lets us service septic tanks and cesspits across the North West and the UK.
Cleaning a septic tank or cesspit is a job for professionals trained in safe drainage and removal of sewage. Our engineers will safely remove waste, if needed clean the tank, and transport waste to a disposal facility.
What is a Septic Tank?
A septic tank is an underground chamber made of concrete, fibreglass, or plastic, used for treating domestic wastewater through the process of biological decomposition and drainage. It separates solids from the wastewater, allowing the liquid to flow into a drain field for further treatment.
What is a Cesspit?
A cesspit, also known as a cesspool, is a sealed underground tank used for storing sewage and wastewater. Unlike septic tanks, cesspits do not process the waste; they require regular emptying to prevent overflow. Both systems are commonly used in rural areas without access to centralised sewage treatment facilities.
Signs You Need Your Sewage System Emptying
British Water and the Environment Agency recommend emptying tanks annually to prevent costly issues. If your sewage tank isn’t emptied frequently, various things can go wrong.
- Sewage tanks can leak, causing an excess of water around the drainage field.
- Unusually lush growth of grass, plants, and flowers around the tank area.
- Slow draining sinks and toilets, even after attempting to clear blockages.
- Foul odours near the septic tank, cesspit, or sewage treatment plant.
- Sewage systems can discharge into the watercourse, where you may notice sludge or scum overflowing into the water.
- Solids can enter the soakaway, also causing damage.
Septic Tank & Cesspit Emptying & Services
With a diverse fleet of tankers in various sizes, we can efficiently and carefully access your tank, cesspit or treatment plant, even in remote or rural areas. Our experienced team takes pride in completing the job safely, carefully, and effectively.
After emptying a septic tank, cesspit, or sewage treatment plant, we transport the waste to a licensed treatment facility, always prioritising environmentally friendly solutions.
Septic Tank Emptying & Cesspit Emptying
We offer high-quality, cost-effective septic tank and cesspit emptying services for a wide range of customers, including domestic households, industrial and commercial properties, utilities, marine, and rail industries—especially for locations that cannot connect to the mains sewerage system.
Septic Tank & Cesspit Cleaning & Maintenance
To ensure your system is thoroughly maintained, we can also arrange high-pressure water jetting to clean your septic tank or cesspit following sewage collection.
Over time, sludge accumulates at the bottom of a septic tank, which requires removal via vacuumation to maintain proper function and prevent clogging in the soakaway system. Most septic tanks should be desludged annually, though this can vary based on the tank’s size and usage levels.
