Installing and managing a septic tank is a practical way to handle wastewater for many years to come. However, to ensure you get the most out of your investment, septic tank maintenance is essential for keeping your system in optimal condition long into the future.

Our goal is to ensure your system runs smoothly, avoiding any costly breakdowns or unnecessary repairs.
Our Top Tips for Maintenance
Only water goes down the drain
It’s common for homeowners to accidentally put things down the drain that shouldn’t be there—such as fats, oils, grease, wet wipes, coffee grounds, or even nappies. These can cause blockages and prevent the essential bacteria in your septic system from breaking down waste efficiently. Avoiding this kind of misuse is key to effective septic tank maintenance.
At Ashwaste Environmental, we encourage all of our clients to be mindful of what goes down their drains. Proper disposal of waste can significantly prolong the life of your system and prevent costly problems down the line. We offer guidance on how to care for your system to ensure long-lasting efficiency.
Regular inspections
Routine inspections of your septic tank are crucial for identifying potential issues before they become significant problems.
Our experienced team at Ashwaste Environmental performs thorough inspections to spot any signs of wear, leaks, or excessive sludge buildup.
Regular inspections are one of the simplest yet most effective ways to stay on top of maintenance and prevent unexpected failures.
Pump it!
To keep your system functioning at its best, we recommend having your septic tank pumped every 3-5 years, depending on the level of usage.
Pumping ensures that any accumulated solids are removed from your system, preventing them from causing blockages or overflows. As part of our septic tank maintenance services, Ashwaste Environmental provides reliable and professional pumping solutions to keep your system working smoothly.
Signs Your Septic Tank Needs Attention
While we aim to ensure that your septic tank runs smoothly and efficiently, certain signs indicate your system needs immediate attention. Slow drainage, unpleasant odours around the tank, or greener-than-usual patches of grass over your drain field are all warning signs. When these signs occur, don’t hesitate to contact us at Ashwaste Environmental—addressing these issues early can save you from costly repairs or even system failure.
