Regular maintenance is key to keeping the soakaway operating properly and ensuring there are no smells or overflows from the system.

In this article, we will look at the main issues you may find with a soakaway and how to prevent them.

A soakaway is designed to discharge wastewater from a septic tank drain field or private sewage system into the ground. Regular maintenance, including emptying the septic tank on a regular basis, is key to keeping an efficient waste-handling system.
nn
Problems can occur due to damaged or blocked pipes and from a build-up of solids caused either by failure to empty the septic tank or by soil, leaves, and other debris entering the system often during a rainstorm. And of course, the paper put into the toilet that is not suitable for a soakaway may also get stuck in the pipework.

Most soakaways have a silt trap which helps prevent silt and other debris from entering the system. Every three months, lift the cover and empty the silt trap.

At the same time, check for any toilet paper that has stuck to the sides of the pipework and remove it to prevent any future blockage. You can use a pressure washer to flush away any debris that is stuck to the sides of the pipework to ensure a clear flow of water.

This is a monthly treatment that digests fats, grease, oils, paper, and other organic matter and helps prevent buildups. It is safe to use on all septic tanks, pipes, and plumbing systems.

This prevents problems of sludge build-up in the infiltration network of septic tanks, to solve blockages in the drainage area. It contains patented bacteria that break down proteins, starch, and other food-related organic waste.

This clears drain fields, leach fields, and soakaways making them free-flowing again by breaking down the heavy black bio slime responsible for clogging pipes. It works by boosting the natural bacteria in the system. Hydra Re-Gen can be added directly into the distribution box via the outlet pipe.

Encouraging bacterial growth and using chemicals to shift sludge buildup and dissolve common debris, is not the end of the story. To keep the cesspit working optimally, it’s important to empty it regularly (how often will depend on its size and the usage it gets). This is not a task you can do yourself as it requires an expert to pump out the system and dispose of the waste properly.

When you are dealing with sewage, whether your drains are going into the main sewage system or into a soakaway, it is important to take care as any mistakes made could create a health hazard for you or your family. Any maintenance, especially when using chemicals too, can be dirty, time-consuming, and potentially harmful work.

And, as with any type of DIY, you may not have the correct tools and always may risk making the situation worse. What’s more, unlike normal household sewage systems, any damage you cause to pipework going into your soakaway can be difficult to fix without digging out the whole system which may result in you needing to replace the system.
nn
It really is not worth the risk and you would be well advised to call in the professional drain unblocker in Bournemouth for help and a fast, efficient, cost-effective service.
