If you don’t know the key differences between cesspit emptying, septic tank emptying and sewage treatment plant maintenance, it could be because you don’t understand how each of these systems works. P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd is a company of cesspit, STP and septic tank installers for all areas in Southern England, including Winchester. We also specialise in septic tank repairs. Educating customers and clients about sewage systems is very much a part of our business.
This page explains the differences between cesspit, septic tank and sewage treatment plant installations, their emptying and maintenance needs, and how our company also cares for mains sewer systems by monitoring them using CCTV drain surveys.
If you need emptying or maintenance, or even an installation, P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd can help. We are cesspit and septic tank installers for all major branded vessels, and we have approval to fit sewage treatment plants from Clenviro Matrix – one of the biggest names in our field.
For CCTV drain surveys, we use equipment from Scanprobe.
Please contact our sewage systems experts on 01483 200336 to book in for cesspit and septic tank emptying, septic tank repairs, or for sewage treatment plant maintenance, from approved technicians and installers. We also invite you to read our Winchester blog post.
A cesspit doesn’t have a drainage outlet. This means it can hold sewage and wastewater but can’t discharge it. Cesspits fill quickly because they have no basic treatment facilities. Home, land and business owners should book in for cesspit emptying services every 6 weeks or so. This stops the build-up of solid waste and prevents the system from overflowing.
If you have a cesspit at your property, there is a good chance you have it installed underground. Our cesspit and septic tank installers perform scheduled emptying services using modern jet vacuumation vehicles from Whale Tankers.
If you need us to check the internal condition of a septic tank or a drainage system, ask P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd about our innovative CCTV drain surveys.
Septic tanks, like sewage treatment plants, discharge an effluent as part of a basic treatment process. This means they need regular emptying and maintenance. We advise that you book in for septic tank emptying services at your property annually. These installations have two or more chambers. The first chamber holds solid waste and discharges the rest of the wastewater into the next chamber.
Here, suspended solids settle to produce a cleaner effluent that discharges into a soakaway or drainage field.
Because we also cover the Winchester area as septic tank installers, we can supply and fit a new system should you require us to. P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd can also perform CCTV drain surveys to check the condition of existing soakaways.
A sewage treatment plant takes processing a step further by cultivating an aerobic biomass to digest solid waste. This produces an effluent of exceptionally high quality, and one that is safe to discharge into the watercourse if you don’t have a soakaway. This type of installation has moving parts and a pump system, so it will need a service. We advise that, like septic tank emptying, you book in for sewage treatment plant maintenance at your property annually.
Because we trade as cesspit and septic tank installers, we can also fulfil your STP installation needs. The Clenviro Matrix system is our recommended product, but we can also work with sewage treatment plants from all other manufacturers.
We can offer maintenance services too, and preliminary CCTV drain surveys ahead of any installation.
The benefits of cesspit emptying, septic tank emptying, and sewage treatment plant maintenance, include:
Winchester is just one of many areas covered by our cesspit and septic tank installers. We have operating centres in Surrey and West Sussex. P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd can provide septic tank repairs, maintenance and emptying services across all parts of the South.
For those with mains-connected sewage systems, we can perform CCTV drain surveys as part of an ongoing surveillance service.
