Sodium is in washing powder, detergents, sweat, dishwasher tablets, water softenersand water from vegetable cooking, etc. Adding a pump to the systemto try to force the effluent into the drainage field only makes matters worse.

First, try to dislodge it by feeding a hose into the pipe and hitting the clog with a high-pressure nozzle. Harsh chemical products are guaranteed to kill the bacterial population in your tank, resulting in poor waste digestion. In this article, we address 5 simple steps needed to ensure the health and even more importantly the longevity of the system. Liquids aren’t a problem – but healthy septic tank microbes will act on your behalf to munch through anything you flush down. Another alternative outside drain unblocker method that is available is to remove the drain pipe and thoroughly wash it with CCTV Drain Surveys to detect the problem.If the soil cannot absorb the rainfall, it cannot cope with the extra liquid volume from a sewage system as well. None are readily recyclable or even digestible and are the perfect partners to create blockages in your drains, tank and soakaway. The first signs to look out for is dips in the land around the soakaway and in some common cases the pipes that feed into the soakaway can be blocked or damaged.

This usually causes the septic tank to fill and settlement chambers mix with clarified effluent with the result that, when the level subsides, the resulting effluent is full of solids which then block the soil porosity in the soakaway drainage field. We often find that once a soakaway has become clogged though it is hard to get it working as efficiently as it did previously. However, just like any motor vehicle, regular maintenance can keep your soakaway working as it should. For more information on how to unblock drains, speak to one of our staff members, or arrange for an engineer to remove any blockages around your property professionally. If you have a pressure jet-washer, we highly recommend you use that as the results are guaranteed to be instant, if not then it may be possible to remove by hand.Our HQ is based in Guildford, but we cover the whole of Surrey, Parts of Berkshire, Hampshire, West Sussex and South West London. They are more often nowadays being used around new building works where sewers are available but where installing soakaways can reduce the potential impact of waste water. The waterlogged ground will only become a worsening problem over time that may not be able to be addressed with a simple cleaning.

If you find your soakaway blocked or suspect in any way that it is not functioning as it should, OMDI can also perform an inspection and clean it out. To avoid this, we recommend that you contact a professional drainage company to take care of your blocked outdoor drains from the start. The fewer contaminants you discharge into your tank the less material there is to digest and the less likely that problems will occur as a result. However, if you ever find your soakaway blocked, there are concrete steps that can be taken to remedy the situation.

If the crates used have inspection channels, jet washing, alongside a submersible pump can help remove any silt and debris build up. Plastic soakaway crates are a popular option for surface drainage in modern industry, due to their lightness of weight, wide applicability and time-saving contribution to drainage installation.

The big difference is that with standard ‘Enzyme only’ products, they only divide larger molecules in FOG. This is because a foul water drainage field has two functions - the first is to soak the liquid away and the second is to treat the effluent and digest it via aerobic ( oxygen breathing ) soil bacteria.Unfortunately, we often don’t notice this has happened until there is a pooling of water around the bottom off the rainwater pipes or channel gullies. The rainwater is then directed outwards into the surrounding soil or further funnelled into a subterranean drainage pipe. From there, you may be able to use it to break up the blockage into smaller pieces, flushing the rest through with water to clear the problem out. There's a grate near the street, and I see a couple of pipes (that resemble the downspout pipe) that drain into it.
