For a drain and sewage system, it’s imperative that all is running smoothly- a breakdown in your building’s internal system can be catastrophic for your location and your budget. It can also mean that business at your building needs to be halted, or even that your personal property must be vacated.

A faulty septic tank is one such thing that can go wrong with your system. So, what can happen?

The Fallout

A septic tank failure can result in contamination of water sources, including the running water within your property and location. Flooding is also a common problem that a faulty septic tank can cause.

These problems can be extremely costly and potentially dangerous. You should never try and fix a serious septic tank issue by yourself, as inhaling toxic gasses or touching contaminated fluid could be life-threatening.

A septic tank failure is something that can be sorted by the right professionals. Check out what Bates Environmental Ltd have to offer in terms of a solution.
