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.

Typical septic tank drainage requests in the area come from:

• Restaurants, shops and offices: diagnosing fields at shops, restaurants and filling stations where trading must continue
• Smallholdings and plots: repairing or enlarging a field on a smallholding where the soil is heavy or the water table high
• Lodges, guesthouses and venues: rebuilding fields overloaded by guest numbers, ideally outside the busy season
• 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
• Estates and complexes: inspecting shared fields for a complex, with a written report for the body corporate
• Schools, churches and clinics: assessing large fields at schools, churches and clinics before a long holiday
