At Quest Waste Management we have a range of tankers and combination units to suit all requirements from private houses to commercial premises. We are able to offer an unrivalled cost effective tank cleaning solution.
Major problems can occur when more people are living or working in properties connected to the same septic tank than it was originally designed for. If a property is extended and the capacity is doubled, for example, this doubles the amount of waste going into the septic tank.
Ultimate failure of a septic tank occurs when the tank can no longer clarify the sewage. To prolong the life of a tank for as long as possible, undertake regular servicing to address any new or ongoing issues. Plus, emptying the tank at least once a year to remove irreducible solids is crucial to keeping your system flowing smoothly.

New rules came into force on 1st January 2015 relating to discharge from septic tanks. It’s well worth taking a quick read of the new legislation and guidelines so that you are clear on your responsibilities.
Septic tanks are an important part of everyday life for those who live out of town. It is unlikely that the household will be connected to the main sewer system. Therefore, they will have a large septic tank in the grounds of their house in which waste will be stored.
Depending on the volume of these tanks, it is important that they are cleaned out regularly. At Quest Waste Management we provide this service. Depending on the size and location of the tank to be cleaned we have a range of vehicles to meet all customers’ septic tank cleaning requirements.
Regular, preventive maintenance is required to remove the irreducible solids which settle at the bottom of the septic tank, reducing its capacity and efficiency. It is important to have the tank emptied regularly to avoid the possibility solids escaping the tank and destroying the clarified liquid effluent. If you properly maintain your septic tank system it will last for many years. Quest Waste Management septic tank cleaning services can help you make this happen.
When septic tanks work effectively, it’s easy to forget they exist. Without regular services and appropriate maintenance, an array of problems could arise including:
- Effluent overflowing to ground level
- Failed outlet
- Effluent backing up in the pipes of the system
- Corrosion inside the tank
- Internal collapse
- Overflowing plumbing in the property
- Joint erosion
