Waste Tankering Services

A septic tank is an underground wastewater treatment system commonly used in areas without access to a mains sewer system. It is designed to collect, treat, and dispose of household wastewater on-site.

Proper maintenance and regular pumping of the septic tank is essential to ensure its efficient operation. Over time, the sludge and scum layers accumulate and need to be professionally removed to prevent blockages, system failure, and environmental contamination.

A cesspit, also known as a cesspool, is an underground storage container that collects and temporarily holds sewage and wastewater from residential or commercial properties. Unlike a septic tank, which provides partial treatment of wastewater, a cesspit simply acts as a holding tank without any treatment or disposal mechanisms.

Cesspits are typically constructed as watertight containers made of materials such as concrete, brick, or steel. They are designed to be completely sealed to prevent leakage or seepage of the collected waste into the surrounding soil.

When wastewater flows into a cesspit, it remains stored within the tank until it is pumped out and disposed of by a professional service provider such as Exjet. The frequency of pumping depends on the capacity of the cesspit and the volume of wastewater generated by the property.

A drain interceptor, also known as a grease trap or oil interceptor, is a device used in plumbing systems to separate and capture substances like grease, oils, fats, and solids from wastewater before it enters the drainage system. It plays a crucial role in preventing these substances from causing blockages and pollution in sewer lines and the environment.

The purpose of a drain interceptor is to intercept and collect the heavier substances present in wastewater that can solidify or create build-ups over time. It typically consists of a chamber or tank installed in the drainage line, usually near sinks, dishwashers, or other areas where grease and oils are present.

A soakaway, also known as a soak pit or infiltration trench, is a drainage system designed to manage surface water runoff.  It is commonly used to control and disperse excess rainwater or wastewater from buildings, driveways, or other impermeable surfaces.
