At P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd, our septic tank installers provide cesspit emptying, septic tank emptying, CCTV drain surveys, sewage treatment plant maintenance and septic tank repairs across Kent and Sussex. With years of experience installing, repairing and maintaining sewage systems, we offer clients a host of knowledge to help keep their tanks in top condition.
As temperatures drop, homeowners with off-mains drainage systems often face some unique challenges. Septic tanks require natural biological activity to process waste efficiently, but cold weather can slow this process and cause damage to the system if it’s not properly maintained. Here, our team has put together a few preventative steps to keep tanks functioning well throughout the winter months, including:
Cold weather can cause pipes to freeze and crack. Adding insulation, such as mulch, straw, or a septic-safe blanket, to exposed areas helps retain heat. You should also avoid compacting soil or snow over the tank because this could reduce insulation and damage pipes.
Before the ground freezes, you should have your tank inspected by our professionals or, if necessary, call our septic tank installers for septic tank emptying in and around Sussex. In the winter months, full tanks are more prone to freezing and backups. Professional maintenance ensures all aspects of sewage systems are functioning optimally before facing the colder weather.
You can also call our team for cesspit emptying, CCTV drain surveys, sewage treatment plant maintenance and septic tank repairs.
Planning for emergencies will help prevent them and, if they occur, make the process of fixing them much more efficient. To ensure this, you should know where your tank is and its access points before winter sets in. If repairs or inspections are needed, this information can save time and prevent unnecessary digging.
