Free, no-obligation — we'll call you back fast.
Homes on the unsewered lanes around Leigh upon Mendip rely on a septic tank or a cesspit rather than the mains sewer. We arrange emptying, soakaway checks and repair advice, booked online with the price confirmed first.
Leigh upon Mendip is a stone village on the Mendip plateau, firmly off-mains. Drainage means septic tanks and cesspits serving cottages, farmhouses and detached homes, with soakaways set into the shallow, free-draining Mendip ground.
Off-mains drainage is well understood here — it is how the whole village works — so the practical questions are simply how often to empty and whether the soakaway is doing its job. We book emptying to suit you, inspect the chambers while we are there, and give an honest recommendation on intervals, all with the price agreed up front.
The cost of a septic tank empty in the Leigh upon Mendip area depends on tank size, with cesspits, larger tanks and longer hose runs all taking more work. Request a fast, fixed-price quote online; the price is confirmed before we book, with no call-out fee.
About once a year for a typical household, adjusted for tank size and how many people use it. Cesspits need emptying far more often. We give you a realistic interval for your property once we have seen the tank.
It can. Shallow, rocky ground drains differently from deep soil, and a soakaway that was fine for years can start to struggle. If your tank fills quickly after emptying, we check whether the drainage field — not the tank — is the real problem before recommending anything.
