-
What causes frequent drain blockages?Frequent blockages are typically caused by build-up of fats, hair, food waste, or foreign objects in the pipes. Tree roots, collapsed pipe sections, or poor installation can also contribute.
-
How often should a septic tank be emptied?On average, septic tanks should be emptied every 1-3 years. The exact frequency depends on household size, usage, and tank capacity.
-
What is a percolation test and do I need one?A percolation test measures how quickly water is absorbed by the soil in a proposed soakaway or percolation area. It’s required when installing or upgrading a wastewater treatment system.
-
Are CCTV drain inspections worth it?Yes. CCTV drain inspections help detect structural issues, leaks, or blockages without excavation. They’re particularly useful before buying a property or when persistent drainage issues occur.
-
Can grease traps be cleaned manually?While small under-sink grease traps may be cleaned manually, commercial grease traps require professional pumping and cleaning to meet hygiene and environmental standards.
