Stormwater Cesspit Cleaning Services

Regular cesspit cleaning is essential for preventing blockages and flooding. A stormwater cesspit (also called a catch pit or cesspit chamber) is designed to trap debris, dirt, and pollutants before they enter the main stormwater drainage system. Without proper maintenance, these materials build up, leading to blocked stormwater drains, surface flooding, and potential property damage.

• Prevents Blockages – Leaves, silt, and debris accumulate over time, blocking water flow.
• Reduces Flooding Risks – A blocked stormwater drain can cause water to overflow onto roads, driveways, and properties.
• Improves Water Quality – Regular cesspit cleaning services help remove pollutants before they reach waterways.
• Extends System Life – Proper maintenance prevents damage and keeps your stormwater drainage system working efficiently.

If you have a cesspit on your property, you are responsible for keeping it clear. Auckland Council requires regular catch pit cleaning to prevent pollution and flooding. Neglecting maintenance can lead to council fines, drainage issues, and costly repairs.

The frequency of cesspit cleaning depends on factors like location, tree coverage, and local conditions. In general:

• Residential properties – At least once a year, especially before heavy rain seasons.
• High-debris areas – More frequent cesspit emptying may be required.
• Commercial properties – Regular servicing is essential to meet council regulations.
