VTG will perform maintenance and disposal of hazardous waste for all facets of septic and sewerage waste disposal including.
Regular maintenance and proper care can significantly extend the lifespan of your septic system, saving you time, money, and headaches in the long run. VTG offers a range of services designed to keep your septic system in optimal condition.
Over time, sludge, debris, and other materials accumulate in your septic tank or cesspool, reducing the system’s efficiency. Regular pumping (de-sludging) by VTG will help prevent problems and ensure your system operates smoothly.
De-sludging requires a licensed liquid waste contractor to open the septic tanks and pump out the contents. The recommended frequency for de-sludging depends on the number of people contributing to the wastewater load: every eight years for a two-person household, every four years for a four-person household, and more frequently for larger households. It is also advisable to alternate drainage receptacles annually by opening the diverter box and adjusting the effluent flow handle to the appropriate position.
Our qualified technicians will assess your needs and recommend the best maintenance plan for your property. By considering factors such as tank size and household occupancy, we’ll create a customised maintenance schedule tailored to your requirements.
Neglecting your septic system can lead to various issues affecting the tank, drain fields, and your home, including:
