In our line work as a sewage removal company offering cesspit emptying and other similar services, we’re often asked what the difference is between a cesspit and a septic tank. Here, we would like to address this for the benefit of our customers in Basingstoke and our other core service areas.
Firstly, let’s start with how cesspits and septic tanks are similar to each other. Like with our grease trap emptying, gully emptying and our services for preventing emergency blocked drains, cesspits and septic tanks help with the treatment of waste in our drainage systems. Both are considered environmentally friendly sewage and wastewater solutions for properties that don’t have access to a mains sewer system. They are both sealed underground units typically placed on rural properties as waste management systems.
Although they are similar in terms of function, cesspits and septic tanks operate entirely differently. A septic tank is a simple wastewater treatment system that releases treated wastewater back into the environment, only leaving surface scum and sediment behind.
In the case of cesspits, these are sealed with no outlet for treating the waste collected inside. In fact, the waste accumulated in a cesspit isn’t treated at all like the waste in a septic tank. Often referred to as ‘holding tanks,’ cesspits keep your waste in one place before a sewage removal company like us can empty the tank and dispose of it properly. Both serve a valuable purpose for managing your waste, but the one you choose to install on your Basingstoke property will depend on your circumstances.
If you would like to discuss septic tanks, cesspit emptying or any of our other services, such as grease trap emptying and gully emptying, please get in touch with the team at P and S Tankers Ltd. We provide effective solutions for emergency blocked drains and waste management in Hampshire, Surrey and other areas of Southern England.
