Septic tanks and drainage in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, sits on the Swartkops flats north of Gqeberha. The town centre and Despatch are sewered, but farms and smallholdings around Kruisrivier, Jagersfontein and the Coega side use septic tanks and conservancy tanks. The ground is heavy clay in many areas, which drains slowly, and hot dry summers crack the surface so that the first rains run straight into drainage fields. The motor industry and its suppliers run large industrial sites with grease traps and tanks that need contract pump-outs. Honey sucker operators work from Kariega and Gqeberha, and Kariega trucks can reach farms in the Uitenhage valley.
Typical septic tank drainage requests in the area come from:
- Houses: diagnosing a wet lawn and slow drains at an older house on a septic tank
- Factories, mines, sites and events: inspecting and rebuilding drainage for site offices, depots and factory ablutions
- Farms and game farms: repairing fields at homesteads and worker housing, often alongside a new pit
- Smallholdings and plots: repairing or enlarging a field on a smallholding where the soil is heavy or the water table high
- Restaurants, shops and offices: diagnosing fields at shops, restaurants and filling stations where trading must continue
- Schools, churches and clinics: assessing large fields at schools, churches and clinics before a long holiday
