APL Wastewater Services provides septic tank servicing Alexandra residents can swear by. Forgetting to have your septic tank inspected and cleaned is common, and can lead to health and environmental hazards.
A lot of homes in regional areas like Alexandra are not connected to public sewer systems, and instead, rely on septic tank systems, which are essentially reservoirs for household wastewater. The septic tank drains through pipes into a distribution system where solids settle out and water is filtered and discharged into the natural environment.
Septic tanks are an essential component that many homeowners, particularly in the rural areas, cannot do without. They need regular upgrading and servicing to maintain their performance.
There are several reasons why proper septic tank servicing is so important:
- Health & safety – Septic tanks can become overloaded and cause sewage and odours, containing harmful bacteria and microbes, to back up to your home. Overflow from sewage systems can also spill into watercourses, poisoning groundwater resources and local waterways, putting human and animal life and ecosystems in danger.
- Optimisation of tank performance – Overfull tanks result in reduced absorption capacity and can result in solids settling on the floor of the tank, causing blockages.
- Reduction of maintenance costs – Properly maintained systems will require repairs less often. Preventing malfunctioning septic tank systems can also help you avoid damages to your property.
- Extended drain field life – Proper septic tank maintenance can increase the life of the field by up to 100%.
APL is committed to sound wastewater management practices. Our septic tank servicing is done by certified & registered experts and involves cleaning and inspection of the septic system, disposal of any waste that has accumulated, and repair or replacement of any parts that are damaged or worn.
