​
Cesspools, unlike septic tanks, are sealed underground tanks designed to collect all wastewater from your property. As they don’t have an outlet or soakaway, they must be emptied regularly by licensed professionals to prevent overflow or contamination.
​
At Ashfield Effluent Services, we provide safe, efficient and fully licensed cesspool emptying using modern vacuum tankers and environmentally compliant disposal methods. Every job is carried out responsibly in line with Environment Agency regulations, ensuring your waste is handled with complete care.
CESSPOOL RULES AND REGULATIONS
Because cesspools are sealed systems, leaks or cracks can quickly cause pollution, contaminating surrounding soil and water supplies. Under current legislation, this is a serious environmental offence.
​
If you own or maintain a cesspool, it is essential to arrange regular professional inspections to ensure the tank remains watertight and structurally sound.
​
Additionally, property owners must comply with waste disposal volume requirements — for example, if your household uses around 35,000 gallons of water per year, your cesspool must be emptied to remove that same amount of wastewater annually.
Our expert team offers compliance surveys, inspections and reports to help you meet legal obligations and keep your system operating safely and efficiently.
