Septic tanks and drainage in George
George sits between the Outeniqua mountains and the coast, with Blanco, Heatherlands and Pacaltsdorp on the sewer and many Wilderness, Hoekwil, Karatara and outlying holdings on septic tanks or conservancy tanks. Rain falls all year, so soils stay wet and soakaways have little chance to dry out. Wilderness has sandy ground and a high water table near lakes and the Touw River, and sealed tanks or raised mounds are common. Sloping clay on the northern side drains slowly. Guesthouses and lodges along the Garden Route add seasonal loads. Honey sucker operators work from George, with Mossel Bay and Knysna trucks covering the edges.
Typical drain unblocking requests in the area come from:
- Houses: clearing a toilet, shower or kitchen line, or the outside drain that serves a house
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: fast call-outs for blocked guest bathrooms and laundry lines during the busy season
- Smallholdings and plots: freeing the long pipe from the house to the septic tank across a larger property
- Estates and complexes: jetting shared stormwater and sewer lines for a complex, with a camera report for the body corporate
- Farms and game farms: clearing silted yard drains and pipes between the homestead, workers' housing and tanks
- Restaurants, shops and offices: clearing kitchen, restroom and floor drains at shops and restaurants, often after hours
- Schools, churches and clinics: clearing long school and clinic lines, with planned jetting during the holidays
