Cheaper Septic Tank Emptying Costs

The rise in fuel prices and the costs involved in disposing of waste have all contributed to the general rise in getting your septic tank emptied, there is however a way for home owners to bring down the cost according to the editors at www.septictankman.com 

Block booking (pun intended) is the way forward, if you and your neighbours can agree to have your tanks emptied on the same day this saves the contractor fuel costs and gives you some bartering power, the more households involved the more discount available.

A similar policy is paying off around the UK as communities get together through social networking, parish councils etc and bulk buy their fuel oil.

Garry Moody from www.septictankman.com explains there are even greater savings to be made as more contractors are now using de-watering tankers, these machines empty your septic tank, separate the waste from the water before pumping the water back into the tank.

This means that the contractor is not unnecessarily carrying and tipping large volumes of water, the savings made can be passed onto the customer and these savings increase if multiple emptying can take place in one visit.

Concrete Sectional Septic Tanks

SepticTankMan.Com have put together an advise page on circular concrete septic tanks following a number of enquiries in recent weeks.


Concrete sectional septic tanks were seen as a quicker and cheaper option to the traditional brick built systems, this was of course prior to the emergence of modern fiberglass and plastic tanks.

There are plenty of them out there and given that the majority of them will be over 40 years old it is little surprise that they will require some attention.

You can read advice on their construction and how they can be maintained at www.septictankman.com

The SepticTankMan.Com site offers advice on all things septic tank related including many images and animations, they also offer a national emptying and repair service.
