TDG Environmental provides a comprehensive septic tank cleaning service.

It is recommended that septic tanks be emptied every 3 years. Here are a few tips to ensure your septic tank functions well.

Do not place things like pavers, concrete or buildings over your septic tank as it makes it difficult to access.
Ensure that non-degradable and man-made materials such as sanitary products, nappies, baby wipes, cotton buds etc are not flushed down the toilet.
Try and avoid planting trees near the septic as tree root infestations occur through weak spots such as cracks or unsealed joints around the sewer pipe feeding the tank or the discharge pipe leading to the drain. Root infiltration can lead to drain blockages that has the potential to either back-up into the property or overflow.
Do not flush any animal waste into the septic.

Ensuring regular maintenance of your septic tank will ensure that your pipes don’t get clogged, or even worse, burst.
