Emptying and High Pressure Cleaning – Ariège

We highly recommend high-pressure cleaning or emptying your septic tank for a healthier and more hygienic home.

Having these installations is mandatory if there is no existing sewage system in your commune.

As a norm, septic tanks only receive blackwater, i.e. wastewater from toilets. As for the holding tank, it collects both blackwater and greywater (cooking, washing).

However, rainwater is prohibited In both types of systems.

Legal considerations aside, pumping out pits is essential to prevent pipes (pit inlet and outlet) and drains (spraying, purification unit) from clogging.

Emptying should only be performed by a qualified professional. High-pressure cleaning of the pipes of a septic tank will not only improve its functioning but also extend its lifespan.

Here at Fontes Vidanges, we handle the maintenance of sanitation systems for local authorities, communes, companies and private individuals to avoid foul odours and ensure the durability of your installations and a smooth flow of fluid in your networks. The law establishes who bears the costs of maintenance of the septic tank in the case of a tenancy.

Note that high-pressure cleaning and septic tank emptying are two distinct operations. The owner is the one responsible for high pressure cleaning, whereas the tenant is responsible for the pump out.

How often should the septic tank be emptied?
