Maintain a clean and odor-free home

The sludge formed after the separation of solid waste from wastewater will start to block the drainage from the house and eventually, there will be a backflow of solid and liquid waste which clogs drains and sinks and cause sewage to flow into the house bring in a terrible odor into your home. At this point, none of your neighbors, including your closest friends will want to come over to catch up while you have lunch.

Promote health

Children are most vulnerable to illnesses through water, food, and surfaces contaminated by leaking sewage around the house. You are also at risk of falling ill which is why you need to often clean and pump your septic tank.

Ecosystem conservation

Depending on where the septic tank is installed, there is a high probability that the sludge will seep into the soil and the septic field if you do not pump your septic tank, not only poisoning the ground, but will all seep upwards creating a terrible odor in your compound and at this point, you cannot evade a visit by officers from the public health office. These soils are no longer safe to carry out activities such as farming.
