Septic Tank FAQs
Is it safe to attempt a DIY septic tank installation?
Installing a septic tank should always be left to qualified professionals. The process is complex and time-consuming, and a DIY installation can lead to long-term issues, such as system malfunctions, leaks, or violations of local regulations. It’s crucial to ensure the installation is done properly to avoid costly repairs down the line.
What problems can come from a poorly installed septic tank?
A poorly installed septic tank can lead to a range of issues, including bathroom disruptions, leaks, unpleasant odours, and cracks in the system. Additionally, improper installation may cause the system to violate local codes, leading to potential fines. To avoid these issues, contact us for septic tank installation and repairs.
How often should a septic tank be serviced?
Regular servicing is essential to keep your septic tank functioning properly. We recommend having your septic tank professionally serviced every 3 to 5 years, depending on the size of your tank and the number of occupants in your household. Regular maintenance can prevent clogs, leaks, and other issues, ensuring your system operates efficiently.
What are the signs that my septic tank needs to be pumped?
If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to have your septic tank pumped: slow drains, foul odours around the drain field or inside your home, or a wet, soggy lawn above the septic tank. If any of these issues occur, call us right away for a professional inspection.
Can a septic tank cause environmental damage?
Yes, if a septic tank is not properly maintained or if it fails, it can cause significant environmental damage. Leaking tanks can contaminate local groundwater, streams, and soil, posing a risk to both human health and the environment. Regular servicing and prompt repairs can help prevent this.

Steve came to my home this morning 27/11/24 on time as scheduled and in 1 hour had my problem sorted, something that two previous plumbers hadn't gone to the extent that he did. He was very communicative about any queries I had and explained everything clearly. I would highly recommend Keogh plumbing services for any plumbing problems you might have.

We were in a bit of a tricky situation and had an unusual job (and relatively urgent) to get done, but Kristin worked with us, was extremely supportive and very understanding. He was very impressive, not only with his personal acumen, but his professional skills as well - greatly appreciated.
