How Septic Tank Works

A septic tank often gets confused with a Cess pit, however they act differently. A septic tank is an underwater sedimentation tank that uses biological decomposition followed by distribution to a drainagefeild. The tanks are very simple and normally have two chambers both with T pipes to prevent scum from leaving the tank.

How It Works

Water from your kitchen, bathroom etc runs through one main drainage pipe leading to your septic tank.
Underground the septic tank starts the process of holding the wastewater. It needs to hold this long enough, so the solids settle down to the bottom, while oil and grease floats to the top.
After this process the liquid wastewater (effluent) will then be able to exit the tank into the drain field.
This wastewater is discharged through pipes onto porous surfaces. These allow wastewater to filter though the soil.
The soil accepts, treats, and disperses wastewater as it percolates through the soil, discharging to groundwater.
Finally, the wastewater percolates into the soil, naturally removing harmful coliform bacteria, viruses and nutrients.

Cess Pits

Cesspools / cesspits work? Your cesspit is a sealed, watertight underground tanks that capture wastewater and sewage and simply collect it, without processing or treating it in any way. ... Cesspits will usually be discreetly buried underground with a single manhole cover for access by the waste collection team

FAQs

Why is my Tank overflowing

A very common problem, as with any other water-body that's underground, is the overflow of water after a period of heavy wet weather. Excess in the inflow of water into these septic tanks will cause the wastewater inside to overflow and flush into the soakaway causing it to block and then causing the tank to overflow or back up to the toilets.
