Septic tank emptying in Scotland

If you own a septic tank, it is advisable to regularly empty and maintain it to prevent blockages and damage, thereby extending the tank’s operational lifespan.

We are based in Argyll and Bute but service and empty septic tanks throughout all of Scotland. Our team have a range of vehicles to suit any job, big or small. We’ve worked in the Scottish Highlands, the Scottish Borders and everywhere in between. Take a look at some of our past work on our Facebook page.

Why do I need to empty my septic tank?

Septic tanks perform two jobs. One is to release wastewater back into the ground, and the other is to hold onto the solid waste that flows into it over the course of a year or so. This waste needs to be manually emptied by a company like Septic Tank Services Ltd. The solid waste comprises of two levels. The topmost is materials like oil, fat, and grease from the kitchen. This floats to the surface and forms a crust. The tank holds this crust securely. The second layer is toilet waste, which sinks to the bottom of the tank. Over time, more and more waste will collect in the tank and if nothing is done, it will fill up and not function correctly anymore.

If we install your tank, then we can happily advise you on how regularly you should have it emptied. And if you already have one and think it needs some maintenance, just give us a call and we’d be happy to chat.
