SETTLING PIT CLEANING
HOME / SETTLING PIT CLEANING
Proper maintenance of your settling pit is required to ensure that any rainwater it collects is fresh and clean at all times. Some of the maintenance work performed by Boitnott Enterprises involves having the pit thoroughly cleaned. Settling pit cleaning involves clearing out sludge that has collected at the pit’s bottom due to the accumulation of organic matter as well as sediments.
Sludge
Even when a pit has a strainer installed, sediment, waste, and plant material will still be able to find its way to the pit’s bottom. With time, this will begin forming a layer of sludge. The layers that have formed can end up as breeding grounds for bacteria that cn be harmful to your family. Such bacteria can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach cramps.
Settling Pit Cleaning
One way that can be used by Boitnott Enterprises technicians to clean out the sludge present in the pit would be by emptying out all its contents. Once empty, the bottom would then need to be hosed and thoroughly swept. It is an effective method that guarantees that all the sludge will be eliminated. The method will require the professionals to empty the pit before entering it.
Alternatively, our technicians can install a settling pit cleaning system that will automatically get rid of the sediments on arrival. You will not have to do anything once this system is in place. It automatically pumps out all the dirt and silt ensuring that there is no sludge buildup.
Our technicians will be happy to help you choose the right cleaning system for your pit. There are systems that work by creating vacuums that are then used to siphon waste water and debris from the base of the pit whenever there is an overflow. The vacuum creates a powerful flow that is responsible for extracting all harmful bacterial colonies or sediments that could be present in the pit.
