How do you go about getting a fossa emptied? The builder said it should be done once a year.

A well designed three tank fossa which is looked after may never need emptying . I had one that lasted 12 years before we moved and a neighbor had never had his emptied in 20 years. A single cess-pit tank will need emptied when it is full.

Ours is emptied about once a year just go to Camara book a couple of tankers to come and empty it, but could probably get someone else to do it cheaper

Our architect printed the form for us as we don't have a printer here and helped us fill it in and also printed a location plan. ( above and beyond the call of duty! )

We took it to the Camara and they were unusually helpful. A very nice man said he would try to get them to come tomorrow. We'll wait and see if they turn up. Contrary to what it said on the web site we don't pay until after because the cost depends on the distance and the volume.

We have owned our property since 2006 and never had to have ours cleaned out. We were told that when it starts erupting out into the garden that is the time to get it emptied.

I will let you know when that day comes.
