Hydro Cleansing recommend that both septic tanks and cesspits are emptied on a 6 monthly basis to avoid overflow and saturation of the soakaways. This of course depends on the level of usage, either way we can offer contracts or schedules for emptying tailored to your individual needs.
A septic tank provides a system for the collection of solid waste products. This happens while the liquid elements are dispersed into the ground via perforated pipes into the soil. This is also known as a soakaway method.
A cesspit is a collection point for both solid and liquid waste. Essentially they are the same thing. Both are watertight enclosures that are usually made up of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) or concrete.
The difference between the two is that a cesspit requires emptying far more frequently than a septic tank. However as it doesn't use a soakaway method to disperse liquid it is much easier to install and takes up less space.
