Free, no-obligation — we'll call you back fast.
Homes on the unsewered lanes around Farmborough rely on a septic tank or a cesspit rather than the mains sewer. We arrange emptying, soakaway checks and repair advice, booked online with the price confirmed first.
Farmborough is a rural parish west of Bath where much of the outlying housing — farmhouses, cottages and homes strung along the lanes — sits beyond the mains sewer. Drainage for these properties means a septic tank or cesspit, pumped out and tankered away for licensed disposal.
The local ground can be heavy, which affects how well a soakaway performs, so alongside routine emptying we look at whether the drainage field is coping. Everything is booked through the online form with the price confirmed first, and there is no call-out fee.
Roughly once a year for an average household, though tank size and occupancy change that. Cesspits fill much faster because nothing soaks away. We recommend a specific interval for your property after emptying it.
Yes. Septic and cesspit waste is controlled waste, so it must be collected by an Environment Agency registered waste carrier and taken to a permitted treatment works. You are given a waste transfer note as proof of proper disposal.
No special preparation is needed. It helps to know roughly where the tank and its access covers are and when it was last emptied, but if you are new to the property we can locate the chambers and take it from there.
