Septic Tank and Cesspit Emptying

A jet vac tanker is a specialised vehicle that combines high-pressure water jetting and powerful vacuum suction to clean and maintain drainage systems. It is used for:
Removing blockages in drains, sewers, and gullies
Cleaning tanks, wells, and interceptors
Extracting large volumes of waste and debris
Jet vac tankers work by using high-pressure water jets to break down grease, sludge, and debris, while the vacuum system simultaneously removes waste material. This makes them extremely effective for deep cleaning drainage networks, pump stations, and flooded areas.
At Rapid Drainage Services, we deploy jet vac tankers to provide quick, efficient, and eco-friendly drainage solutions across the UK.
Proper liquid waste disposal is crucial for public health, environmental safety, and legal compliance. At Rapid Drainage Services, we follow strict UK regulations to ensure all liquid waste is processed safely and responsibly.
Our process includes:
Collection – Waste is removed using high-capacity vacuum tankers, preventing spills or contamination.
Transport – The waste is securely transported to licensed treatment facilities.
Treatment – At the facility, hazardous components are neutralised, and any recyclable elements are processed.
Improper disposal can result in severe penalties, including fines and prosecution. Additionally, disposing of waste incorrectly can harm local wildlife, pollute water sources, and create public health risks.
By choosing Rapid Drainage Services, you ensure your liquid waste is handled legally, ethically, and sustainably.
Failing to empty your septic tank or cesspit can lead to serious issues, both for your property and the surrounding environment. Over time, solid waste accumulates, reducing the tank’s capacity and preventing proper drainage. This can result in:
Sewage backups – Wastewater can overflow into your property, causing health hazards and foul odours.
System failure – Excess waste can clog pipes, causing slow drainage or complete blockages.
Environmental contamination – Overflowing sewage can pollute groundwater, harming wildlife and violating environmental regulations.
Expensive repairs – Ignoring maintenance can lead to damaged tanks, collapsed pipes, and costly remediation work.
Routine tanker services ensure your septic system functions efficiently and safely. At Rapid Drainage Services, our expert team provides fast, reliable septic and cesspit emptying, helping you avoid costly and unpleasant problems.
The frequency of septic tank or cesspit emptying depends on several factors, including the size of the tank, the number of occupants, and the amount of wastewater generated. As a general guideline:
Septic tanks should be emptied once every 12 to 18 months to prevent blockages and overflow.
Cesspits (which store all waste rather than treating it like a septic tank) require more frequent emptying, often every 6 months or sooner, depending on usage.
Regular maintenance prevents foul odours, slow drainage, system failures, and environmental hazards. Ignoring septic tank or cesspit maintenance can lead to sewage backups, costly repairs, and potential contamination of surrounding land and water sources.
At Rapid Drainage Services, we offer both one-off emptying and scheduled maintenance plans, ensuring your system stays in optimal condition. Our licensed waste disposal ensures compliance with all UK environmental regulations, giving you peace of mind.
Tanker services refer to the use of specialised vacuum and jetting tankers for waste removal, drainage maintenance, and emergency response.
