WHEN SHOULD YOU EMPTY YOUR TANKS - ADVICE FROM "AKHORTAGOS"

Emptying your septic tank is not just a job – it is protecting your health, the cleanliness of the area and the environment. At ACHORTAGOS, with 40 years of experience in septic tank emptying in Efpalio, Nafpaktos and the surrounding areas, we give you practical advice to keep your septic tank safe, clean and functional.

Your septic tank should be emptied preventively every 6–12 months, depending on the absorbency of the soil. It usually needs emptying when odors or overflows begin to appear, as wastewater ends up in the environment, which is unhealthy.

You should also pay attention if the water drainage in the bathroom or sink is slow.

An important role in evacuation is played by:

The size of the cesspool – a small cesspool needs to be emptied more frequently than a larger one.
The number of people using the space – more people means more wastewater.
The amount of water used daily, as it accelerates the filling of the cesspool.
Proper and regular emptying of the septic tank protects the environment, your health and prevents damage or unpleasant odors.
