Septic tanks and drainage in Brits
Brits is an irrigation and industrial town below the Magaliesberg, with the sewer serving the central suburbs and not much beyond them. The agricultural holdings around Hartbeespoort, Schoemansville, Damonsville and the Crocodile River valley rely on septic tanks and french drains, and the weekend and holiday houses by the dam add seasonal loads. Black clay and alluvial soil near the river and the dam are poorly draining and the water table is high, which is hard on soakaways. Factory sites and farm worker housing use conservancy tanks. Honey sucker operators work from Brits and Hartbeespoort, and the Gauteng side supplies tanks and plant.
Typical grease trap cleaning requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a trap on a farm stall, deli or catering kitchen run from a smallholding
- Farms and game farms: traps at farm kitchens, worker canteens and packing sheds that cook for many people
- Houses: a small under-sink trap at a home business kitchen or a granny flat with a full kitchen
- Factories, mines, sites and events: large traps at food factories and staff canteens with a waste slip for each visit
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: heavy-use traps at lodge and venue kitchens that peak during weddings and holiday seasons
- Estates and complexes: traps at a clubhouse restaurant or communal kitchen, serviced on a body corporate schedule
- Restaurants, shops and offices: frequent cleaning of restaurant, takeaway and food court traps to meet by-laws and landlords
Local tips for Brits
In Brits, the most common systems are septic tanks and french drains on holdings, conservancy tanks at factories. Operators and suppliers mostly work from honey sucker operators in Brits and Hartbeespoort. A useful tip: ask whether the soakaway was sized for a dam-side house, not a weekend cottage.
Grease Trap Cleaning usually means pump out and scrape fat, water and solids, for 50 to 2,000 L kitchen traps, every 2 weeks to 3 months. Ground in the area: black clay and a high water table near the dam and river: slow drainage.
What to include in your request
- Trap type: under-sink, in-ground or large chamber, and size if known
- What the kitchen cooks and roughly how many meals a day
- When it was last cleaned and how long it took to fill
- Where the lid is and whether it is under a table or paving
- Whether you need a regular contract and a service slip
