How Septic Tanks Work:
Septic tanks are used for the collection and settlement of household sewage and wastewater for domestic dwellings without access to mains drainage.
In a septic tank, sewage enters the septic tank into a settlement chamber, allowing solid waste (sludge) to sink and liquid to rise to the surface. This surface liquid makes contact with oxygen and the organic matter starts to breakdown biologically. This liquid still contains sewage but in small enough particles to be carried through the discharge outlet and into the ground (soakaway).
​
How Often Should I Empty My Septic Tank?
To keep your sewage system running efficiently your septic tank needs to be pumped out or desludged every 1 -2 years. This timeframe depends on how many people are using it and the size and efficiency of your tank. It is extremely important to keep your septic tank maintained. If you allow your septic tank to back up it reduces the septic tanks efficiency, pollutes the groundwater and environment and more repairs are needed and it can be costly to repair or replace the septic tank.
A homeowner can be fined up to €5000 for not emptying their septic tank and causing it overflowing into a water course or contaminating the land around it or a well where people get their drinking water from.
What checks should I make on my septic tank system?
If your septic tank system is in good working order you should have the following:
-
Your household drainage should be quick to clear, and toilets should not be backing up
-
There should be no smell from your tank and the cover should be accessible and well fitting
-
The soak away should be dry not swampy, smelly or have prolific grass growth
-
A pale liquid with little or no smell should come from the discharge pipe. It should not be dark, smelly or contain solids
-
Makes sure to keep deep-rooted trees and plants at least 30 m away from your system. Keep the grass nearby short.
If any of the above is showing signs that your septic tank system is not in proper working order, it may need to be emptied or desludged.
​
Do I need to register my tank?
Yes you need to register your septic tank with your Local Authority – click here to register https://www.protectourwater.ie/. There is a charge of €50 to register.
​
What are some things that should not be put into the septic tank system?
-
Don’t flush anything other than bodily waste and toilet paper down the toilet
-
Don’t dispose of grease or oil down any drain – wipe out pans and pour fat into a container to be disposed of in the bin
-
Don’t put paints, solvents or chemicals down the drain
-
Don’t try to unblock pipes with caustic soda or drain cleaners. Try boiling water instead
-
Don’t connect rainwater pipes to your septic tank
