How Much Does Septic Tank Cleaning Cost?
Septic tank systems are a common method of treating and disposing of sewage in Toowomba, also called wastewater. Various pathogenic microorganisms and parasites can live in wastewater and effluent, and these can spread disease to humans via direct contact or indirectly through eating and drinking contaminated food.
To protect the health of your family and your community, you must dispose of sewage and effluent safely. That includes regularly cleaning your septic tank and we have all of the information you need to ensure you have a clean and healthy system at your residential property.
Factors that Influence Septic Tank Cleaning Cost
Unfortunately, there is no single price for all septic tank cleaning services. There are so many factors involved that what each household pays is different. Fortunately, hiring Shrek's Septic Services will ensure you get the best possible price. Factors that influence the cost are:
The size of the tank: This will determine labour costs and the time taken to complete the job.
How long it has been since it was last cleaned: If it has been a while, your tank may need a filter replacement and minor or major repairs on top of the pumping and cleaning.
How many people are in your household: More people equals more wastewater and more wear and tear on the tank.
The quality of the wastewater: If anything except toilet paper and waste has been flushed down the toilet, it can damage and clog your tank.
How Frequently should my Septic Tank be Cleaned?
This varies on a few factors, but on average we advise that every household septic tank is inspected and cleaned by an industry professional at least once every three years. We also advise pumping these systems every three to five years to completely clean the tank and ensure there are no cracks, leaks or other degradation that can impact your system.
Modern systems that include innovations like electric float switches, modern electronic pumps or any other mechanical components should be at least inspected annually to ensure there are no issues that could impact these parts.
The number of people using your septic system, the total volume of wastewater created, the volume of solids present in the wastewater and the size of the tank itself will impact how often you should have it cleaned.
