If your house is equipped with an individual sewage system, then sooner or later you will have to think about cleaning it. It is clear that this procedure is not pleasant, but even without it it’s not necessary to even think about the normal operation of the sewer system. In order for this important work to be done correctly, in this article we will discuss how to deflate the drain hole.

Using a pump

To implement this work will require:

  • fecal or water pump;
  • collection tank.

The collection tank should be of appropriate size. In addition, it should be equipped with a lid, because during transportation everything should be tightly closed.

Tip! If you use a large capacity, you can take out all the drains from the drain hole at a time, but this also requires the transport of the corresponding lifting capacity.

Fecal pumps

If a water pump is available to you, then the pumping system must be equipped with special filters. Without this, at best, the pump will be clogged, and at worst, it will have to be repaired. Before starting pumping, it is recommended to carry out a hemogenisation procedure for wastewater: you can use special cutting elements that are installed on pumping equipment.

Tip! Most of all for these works the fecal pump with a grinder is suitable.

If the pit is small, then pumping out of drains will be made very quickly. The pump simply sinks into the pit and is there for the entire pumping period. When using such equipment all the work is done without much effort. The main thing is to have a reliable capacity for transfer and transport for export.

Pumping without pump

Manual cleaning

What if there is no fecal pump? Then you can use the old method, which consists in scooping up the sewage with a bucket. The bucket is tied to a rope. In this case, it is recommended to put on special clothes in order not to harm the exposed areas of the skin. Of course, doing such work will not bring any pleasure, but if this is the only available option, then there is no choice.

Tip! If the cesspool is small, this method is quite suitable. If the pit is large, it is better to look for alternatives.

Modern methods for cleaning pits

Cesspool machine

Tip! If you have a plastic septic tank that is sealed, then only specialized companies should clean them. In this case, assenizatorskaya machine is used. For her entrance should be provided with normal access to the pit.

In other cases, special biopreparations are used. These are microorganisms that promote the disposal of sewage. They disintegrate and recycle the effluent in the drain hole: even the hardest fractions will quickly be processed into a liquid mass. This can include the use of chemicals that are no less effective, but their use is limited. Care should be taken that after cleaning the drain pit, there is no need to carry out a global repair of the sewer system.

Cleaning process

Thinking about cleaning the drain hole should be even during its construction. To this place should be provided free access aspenizatorskogo machine. In order not to fill the pit "to the brim", it is recommended to perform pumping out once a month. Although everything will depend on the volume of the sump and the activity of its use. If the country house is used extremely rarely, then it will be possible to carry out pumping out every six months, or even once a year, although in any case, preventive pumping will not hurt.

Tip! Do not overfill the pit. In such cases, there are often emergencies.

So, cleaning and pumping drain holes can be done by hand. In this work there is nothing difficult, the most important thing is to have all the necessary equipment. If you know other effective methods, then share them with us in the comments to this article.
