Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a cesspit be emptied?
It depends on tank size and usage levels. Some domestic properties need monthly emptying, while others require less frequent visits. We can advise a practical schedule based on your property.
What is the difference between a cesspit and septic tank?
A cesspit stores all wastewater in a sealed tank and must be emptied. A septic tank partially treats wastewater before discharge to a drainage field.
Can you install a new cesspit?
Yes. We provide full cesspit installations including excavation, tank placement, connections and commissioning.
Do you cover farms and rural homes?
Yes. Many of our customers are farms, cottages, remote homes and off-grid commercial sites.
What happens if a cesspit overflows?
Overflowing sewage can create hygiene risks, odours and environmental issues. Immediate emptying and inspection is recommended.
Can a cesspit be replaced?
Yes. We can assess whether a sewage treatment plant or alternative system would be more suitable long term.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. We provide urgent support for high tank levels, overflows and cesspit emergencies.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire including Braintree, Chelmsford, Colchester, Halstead, Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds.
