Let’s face it, your septic has an important job.
Without going into the details of what needs to be emptied from a septic tank, we can all agree that if it’s not done the results can be at worst, catastrophic and at the very least, suspiciously smelly.
You may ask “Do septic tanks really need to be emptied?”. Well, regular septic cleaning removes the disease-prone parasites and prevents the blockages that damage sewerage systems.
The complete pumping out of a septic tank regularly, to thoroughly remove all contents and sludge, is a key component of maintaining it. and ensuring it can operate at its full capacity.

Maintaining your Septic Tank in Tasmania
At HDL Pumping, we recommend your septic tanks should be pumped out clean at least once every five years, ideally every two and a half to three years, however, this does depend on factors like the size of your tank and how many people are using your facilities. Routine septic maintenance helps reduce the chances of blockages, and other problems that could cause a more significant issue down the line, costing you thousands of dollars.
A big factor in maintaining your septic tank is the stuff going in your toilet! Don’t put baby wipes down there or anything else that really isn’t meant for toilets, it can stop your septic tank from doing its job. Don’t use bleach as it can be damaging to a septic tank by killing the bacteria needed to break down the waste in your septic tank.
