If you own a property that doesn’t have a connection to the public sewer system, it’s essential to have a cesspit or septic tank installed on your land to handle sewage and wastewater. A cesspit is a large underground container used to collect waste and sewage from your property. Over time, these cesspits fill up and require emptying to prevent overflow and maintain proper functioning.
At Draintech Tankers, we specialize in efficient cesspit emptying services. We offer fast, reliable, and professional waste removal services in Andover, as well as other areas across Hampshire and the South, including Winchester, Southampton, Fareham, Salisbury, Romsey, and Milford.

How Often Should A Cesspit Be Emptied?
How often a cesspit should be emptied largely depends on factors such as the tank’s capacity, the number of people using it, and the household’s water consumption. Smaller tanks serving larger households may fill up quicker, necessitating more frequent emptying, while larger tanks used by fewer individuals might take longer to reach capacity.
As a general guideline, it’s recommended to empty a cesspit anywhere between 6 weeks and quarterly to prevent overfilling, potential overflow, build up of solids or leakage. Regular maintenance not only ensures the cesspit functions properly but also avoids unpleasant odors, environmental hazards, and costly repairs. Neglecting timely emptying can lead to issues such as groundwater contamination, structural damage to the tank, or disruptions in drainage.
To determine the ideal schedule for emptying your cesspit, consider consulting a professional who can assess your system, usage, and specific requirements. Some service providers offer routine emptying plans, which can be a convenient way to ensure your cesspit is always well-maintained.

Professional Cesspit Empty, Installation & Maintenance
While septic tanks and sewage treatment plants are often more cost-effective options due to their lower maintenance requirements, cesspits remain the most viable solution for properties unable to discharge waste into a soakaway or ditch. Although cesspits share some similarities with septic tanks in their ability to collect waste and sewage, they differ significantly in function. Unlike septic tanks, cesspits have no outlet or waste treatment mechanism. Instead, they are sealed systems designed to store wastewater, typically with a capacity to hold about 45 days’ worth of sewage and water. This makes regular emptying a necessity to prevent overflows.

Frequently Asked Questions on Cesspit Emptying Andover
Here are some of the frequently asked questions on our cesspit empty, maintenance and installation service.
What is cesspit emptying?
Cesspit emptying is the process of removing accumulated wastewater and sewage from a cesspit, which is a sealed underground tank designed to store waste. Unlike septic tanks, cesspits don’t treat the waste; instead, they store it until it’s professionally emptied. This service is essential to maintain hygiene and prevent overflow, which could lead to unpleasant odors, environmental hazards, and potential fines for improper waste management.
What are the signs that my cesspit needs emptying?
Here are some common signs that your cesspit needs emptying
- Foul odors: A strong, unpleasant smell near the cesspit is a clear indication.
- Slow drainage: If sinks, toilets, or other drains are slow to empty, your cesspit might be nearing capacity.
- Sewage backup: Wastewater backing up into your home or garden is a serious warning sign.
- Overflow: If you notice pooling water or waste near the cesspit cover, it’s likely overdue for emptying.
What is the cost of cesspit emptying in Andover 2024?
The cost can vary based on several factors, including the size of your cesspit, the volume of waste, and the provider you choose. For an average-sized tank, prices typically range from £100 to £200 per visit. For larger tanks or emergency call-outs, the cost might be higher. It’s a good idea to request quotes from local companies to compare pricing. Many providers offer discounts for regular maintenance contracts, which can save you money in the long run. At Draintech Tankers, we offer free quotes and a range of tankering services. Just let us know the size of your tank, and our friendly team will provide a free quote. Simply call 01264 710543 now.
Do I need planning permission for a cesspit?
Yes, installing a cesspit typically requires planning permission and building regulations approval to ensure it meets environmental standards and local guidelines. While cesspits are less common than septic tanks due to their lack of treatment capabilities, proper permits are mandatory for new installations.
What size cesspit do I need for my property?
The required size depends on household occupancy. As a general guideline, a minimum capacity of 18,000 liters is recommended for two users, with an additional 6,800 liters for each extra person. For example, a family of four would need a cesspit with a capacity of approximately 31,600 liters.
Is it legal to have a cesspit in my property?
Yes, owning a cesspit is legal in England, including Andover. However, it’s your responsibility to ensure there are no leaks or overflows, and that it’s regularly emptied by a licensed waste disposal contractor.
