We had our Septic Tank emptied and cleaned up today. It was slightly longer than the usual 12 months since the previous service because we had stopped putting down vegetable matter down through our disposal unit in the kitchen.
We have been monitoring the state of the discharge fluid and we decided that it ought to be done especially since we also had a servicing episode with our air pump a couple of weeks ago where the rubber bellows had split after 7 years of constant operation. See Servicing Sewage Air pump
The man with his smelly lorry came and this year, he had brought along his narrow 2inch extension tube so we didn’t have to “duct” tape a length of our 68mm plastic pipe and was able to reach down to the very bottom of the tank to suck up the content.
We then washed around the upper rim to make sure there were no rubbish lingering around.
All done for another year!
