Septic Tank Management Carlisle, Dumfries & Lancaster.

Many rural properties will adopt a septic tank drainage system, which will require periodic maintenance. They are often left untouched until problems of smell or blockage arise. This can be too late to avoid the soak away blocking and resulting in additional and often expensive works.

It is recommend that septic tanks are emptied at regular intervals, although this will depend on the design capacity and use. A well-designed septic tank system can have capacity such that maintenance intervals can be up to 12 months, this will reduce significantly if more people live in a property that the system was designed for. A good example of this is a property which has been adapted or extended to accommodate extra family members.

Metro Rod Cumbria are able to send a tanker to your property to empty your Septic Tank and dispose of the waste in the most environmentally friendly, suitable manner – usually at your nearest sewage treatment works.

We will even clean your septic tank, if required to do so, making sure that everything is in full working order, meaning no potential problems will arise in the near future.

New septic tank emptying regulations are due to come into force on 1st January 2020!

These new rules have been put in place to protect surface water resources, e.g. rivers, streams etc, from pollution caused by septic tanks and other small-scale sewage treatment plants. If you have a septic tank that discharges directly into a watercourse such as a river, stream, canal, ditch, surface water drain or any other type of watercourse then it must be replaced or upgraded by 2020.
