A septic tank is a system used to collect and partially treat domestic wastewater when a property is not connected to the public sewerage network. To ensure the system functions correctly, it must be checked and emptied regularly.
Signs that the septic tank needs emptying:
unpleasant odours are present near the tank;
water drains more slowly through the sanitary fixtures;
the level in the tank is very high;
backflow or water build-up occurs;
toilets and drains are slow to flush.
Timely emptying prevents blockages, reduces the risk of damage to the system and helps to maintain a functional drainage system.
The pumping-out process involves extracting the contents of the septic tank using a specialised vehicle, transporting them away and disposing of them in accordance with the applicable regulations.
For residents of Bacău and neighbouring towns, the advice is not to wait until the septic tank is completely full, as emergency call-outs can be more difficult and more expensive.
