FOOTT provides pumping out of commercial and private tanks to customers through Victoria, southern NSW and beyond. If you’re looking for tank cleaning, FOOTT can provide the right solution, specifically to suit your requirements.
The word “septic” refers to the anaerobic bacterial system that forms within the tank and allows waste to decompose or mineralise.
A septic tank is a wastewater collection and treatment facility that is located underground at dwellings or facilities that do not have access to established sewerage connections provided by water authorities.
All of the property’s drains connect to a single pipe that leads to the septic tank. The wastewater from your toilet, tub, sinks, and washing machine is mixed as it leaves your building. However, when it reaches the septic tank, it starts to split. Sludge, or the heaviest particulate matter in the waste, sinks to the bottom. The floating scum layer at the top of the tank is made up of fats, oils, and proteins.
To remove the sludge and solids that settle at the bottom of the septic tank, the contents needs to be pumped out and disposed of at an accredited receiving facility.
In general, a septic tank should be pumped every 2 – 5 years. Ultimately, the time between cleans depends on the number of people in your household, the age of your septic tank and the tank’s storage capacity.
