Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a stormwater or septic tank be pumped out?
Most tanks should be pumped out every 3 to 5 years, but the exact frequency depends on the tank size, household water usage, and number of occupants. Larger households or properties that use more water may require more frequent pump-outs, while smaller households may be able to go longer between services. Regular pump-outs prevent solids from building up in the tank, which can clog the drainage field and cause costly damage. It’s also important to schedule inspections during pump-outs to check for leaks, cracks, or other signs of wear.
Can household products damage a septic tank?
Yes. Harsh chemicals such as bleach, disinfectants, and drain cleaners can disrupt the natural bacteria that break down waste in a septic tank. Without these bacteria, solids can accumulate faster, leading to blockages and system failure. Non-biodegradable items such as wipes, sanitary products, and grease should never be flushed or washed into the system, as they do not break down easily and can cause clogs. Using septic-safe cleaning products and disposing of waste properly helps protect the system.
How long does a stormwater or septic tank last?
A well-maintained concrete or fiberglass tank can last 30 to 40 years or more, while steel tanks typically have a shorter lifespan due to corrosion. The longevity of a septic system also depends on proper use, regular maintenance, soil conditions, and water usage habits. Neglecting pump-outs, allowing tree roots to grow into the system, or using excessive water can shorten the lifespan significantly. Regular inspections and timely repairs are key to maximising a septic tank’s service life.
