Fast, practical steps to take if your septic tank overflows, plus how to get emergency help in Kandy and Peradeniya.
Stay safe first
Keep people and pets away from the overflow area, avoid using taps, toilets or washing machines until the tank is pumped, and don't attempt to open or clear the tank yourself.
Limit the damage
Where possible, stop water from pooling toward the house or a water source, and avoid walking through the affected area to limit the spread of contamination.
