Liquid waste management. It’s confusing, isn’t it? Most home and business owners in Guildford have little to think about apart from paying their rates and flushing the chain. Those who don’t have a connection to a mains sewer system have it a little more difficult. What are cesspits? How do they differ from septic tanks? What are sewage treatment plants? Is cesspit emptying and septic tank emptying the same thing? Where does sewage treatment plant maintenance come into play? Are you looking for a company that offers septic tank repairs or advice about sewage systems?
And what about CCTV drain surveys? Where do surveys fit in? Who provides all of these services anyway, the original cesspit or septic tank installers, or somebody else?
Yes. It definitely IS confusing. But we’re here to make things a little clearer for you.
P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd is a leading independent liquid waste management specialist. We have operating centres in Dunsfold and Staplefield, which gives our company a strong presence. Cesspit emptying and septic tank emptying are key services for our company, but we also specialise in sewage treatment plant maintenance.
CCTV drain surveys feature high on our agenda too and, if you’re looking at liquid waste management for the first time, we know you won’t find a better team of cesspit or septic tank installers anywhere else in Surrey or Southern England.
Please take the time to read our dedicated Guildford blog post.
We deliver a friendly, informed and transparent service. The pointers below should give you some clearer ideas on what we do, and on how we go about helping our customers.
This is one of the more basic services we provide for customers. A cesspit is a holding tank. Because it can’t process liquid waste, home, land and business owners have to book in for cesspit emptying at approximate 6-month intervals. We dispatch jet vacuumation tankers to empty cesspits and to clean their interiors.
It is best to book in for cesspit emptying at the recommended interval but, if your system has a capacity alarm fitted, drop us a call when you have a full tank and we’ll come out to empty it. You won’t even need to be at home for our visit.
Septic tanks treat liquid waste in separate chambers to create an effluent that discharges into a soakaway. This means you won’t need to book in for septic tank emptying as often as you would for a cesspit. Most people in Guildford have septic tanks emptied annually – as well as septic tank repairs – but those with low usage volumes can usually schedule visits further apart.
P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd uses jet vacuumation tankers for septic tank emptying too. We have 12 Whale Tankers on our fleet. These are the best tankers available to our sector, and a brand with a strong nationwide and international reputation.
Because these systems produce a much clearer effluent and process waste differently, they don’t need emptying in the same way as a cesspit or a septic tank. Instead, our customers book in for sewage treatment plant maintenance. This is much like a service, the type you already book for your family cars.
Because an STP has a mechanical pump system, it needs an annual service to keep it running optimally. Book in for sewage treatment plant maintenance annually, and avoid the potential not just for breakdowns, but also for repairs to these sewage systems.
If you already own or plan to buy a property without a mains sewer connection, you’ll need a system in place to collect liquid waste. P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd has experienced cesspit and septic tank installers on its team with more than 100 years of combined knowledge, more than most companies in our region.
We also install sewage treatment plants and have approval to fit the renowned Clenviro Matrix system. Arrange a survey with our cesspit and septic tank installers today, and have your preferred system fitted with the minimum of disruption.
If you do have a mains sewer connection, P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd can help you to keep your drainage system clear. CCTV drain surveys play a vital role in surveillance. They help our technicians to find potential system faults before they develop into something much worse, such as a collapse that could lead to a full replacement.
We perform CCTV drain surveys in Guildford using the latest equipment from Scanprobe Technologies. Prevention is always better than cure, and the careful monitoring of your drainage system now could save you vast amounts of money in the future.
