Sewer and Drain Cleaning Warwickshire
Monday, August 9th, 2010In modern Britain we’re fortunate enough to have a highly efficient sewer system that takes care of all manner of waste. However some properties are without the capability to connect to the mains sewer system due to their remote or inaccessible location. In these circumstances, a team like ours here at Total Drainage Services will have installed one of three sewage disposal facilities; a septic tank, sewage pumps or a sewage treatment plant. Each can provide adequate waste disposal for most properties, but only if they are cleaned and maintained periodically by experts in drain cleaning Warwickshire like us.
The cleaning requirements differ according to the sewerage disposal facility in place. Perhaps most obviously, septic tanks require regular emptying and cleaning to maintain their efficiency. Septic tanks are watertight units which are situated out of sight below ground. Solid and liquid waste from the normal activities of the building are deposited in the tank and allowed to decompose.
Liquid waste is then dispersed harmlessly into the soil below ground by means of a soakaway system. However, without regular cleaning, solid waste will be forced down the soakaway systems too, causing blockages which can be incredibly unpleasant for nearby inhabitants should waste begin to overflow. Regular cleaning and emptying by Total Drainage Services technicians using CCTV surveys ensures this never happens.
We can also clean, maintain and install the machinery used in sewage treatment plants. Common on industrial sites and at locations near watercourses, these below ground facilities work by chemically treating waste until it is rendered inert and acceptable to be deposited in watercourses under Environment Agency standards.
Finally, we can clean and maintain the pumps used in some locations to transport waste to the mains sewerage system located at a distance away. As before, this avoids the soiling of nearby areas. For more information regarding sewer and drain cleaning Warwickshire, get in touch today.
