Septic tank full or blocked
My septic tank is filling up too quickly. Why is that?
Do you have a toilet at home that is connected to a cesspit, but this cesspit fills up quickly? In this case, it could be that the bacteria in the cesspit are not able to do their job optimally to break down the waste products in the water. As a result, the cesspit can fill up quickly. You will notice that the toilet no longer flushes or that the cesspit overflows. The odour will enter your home and can be a real nuisance. Therefore, make sure that the cesspit is always equipped with an optimal number of well-functioning bacteria so that you can reduce the number of times the cesspit has to be emptied. To do this, you need to create an environment in which the bacteria can work optimally and break down waste products.
What solutions are there?
The following tips can help:
- Ensure that the cesspit is emptied regularly. It is recommended that the cesspit is emptied at least every two years. This should be carried out by a specialised company, as dangerous gases can often build up in a cesspit.
- Be careful when using cleaning agents and other chemical products. These can damage the bacteria in the cesspit and prevent it from functioning properly. As a result, the sludge is not broken down and the cesspit fills up faster.
- Add special bacteria such as Roebic K47 annually to help break down the sludge and reduce the odour of the tank.
Roebic contains a wide range of products for the maintenance of a cesspit. We have bundled them into a package that can be used to restore the bacterial culture in the cesspit. An ideal package to prevent blockages and odours from the cesspit. The products are also 100% organic.
