Managing your septic tank - the right way

Septic tanks are commonly used when a property is too remote to connect it to the mains drainage system. It is usually far cheaper to have a septic tanks or cesspool than laying and maintaining the miles of sewer to deal with the waste. These can be very effective ways of dealing with foul drainage, but they do need to be managed correctly.
