Septic tanks and drainage in Kempton Park

Kempton Park sits around OR Tambo Airport, so septic and drainage work is divided between sewered suburbs such as Glen Marais and Bonaero Park, and the plots and holdings of Birch Acres' surrounds, Chloorkop, Spartan and Kaalfontein that rely on septic tanks. Airport-related logistics, guesthouses and warehouses add grease traps, bulk pump-outs and after-hours work. Soils are clayey with a high water table in wet years, so soakaways stall easily. Operators serve the area from Spartan, Isando and Edenvale and often reach customers the same day. Guesthouses near the airport should book regular pump-outs, since fully booked weeks produce sudden, heavy loads.
