Planning a septic system installation?
If you are planning a septic system installation in Scotland or the north of England, then there are a few things you need to consider first. Such a job requires skills, hard work and knowledge about local legislation. That means it is something which should only be taken on by professionals. And that’s where Septic Tank Services comes in. Our group of professionals can help guide you on every aspect of the planning, digging and aftercare of your new septic tank. Here’s some things to consider before giving us a call.
Do you need a septic tank?
If your property is in a rural location far from towns and cities, or an area without access to mains drainage, you will need to find.a way to safely dispose of your household sewage. That’s where septic tanks come in. They separate the liquid waste from the solid. Such tanks ensure that waste water is treated sufficiently so it can be released back into the environment without causing pollution. Once you have confirmed that you need a septic tank, then the next stage is checking local regulations.
Septic system installation regulations
Before a single spade is thrust into your soil, you should make sure you have all the permissions needed from the local council, SEPA (if in Scotland) or the Environmental Agency if in England. Not all sites are suitable for or capable of supporting a septic tank. It’s important that you are permitted to install a septic tank at the location you want it. You also need to make sure there is enough space for your tank as well as the soakaway field. We can help guide you on this before getting the authorities involved – just give us a call. We can give you all the information you need to ensure your application runs smoothly.
Getting the work started
Once all permissions have been given, it’s time to start the installation! This is where we come in. Our trained staff can get our equipment like diggers along pretty much any narrow road to your property. We will dig holes and trenches causing as little disruption as we can. Everything will be done to an agreed timescale. Exactly what this timescale is depends on location, size of tank and how much plumbing is required. This includes how far away your drainage field is.
We’ll set to work digging drainage trenches, make sure you’ll have room for future access so it can be maintained (speak to us about regular maintenance). We’ll install a septic system to the correct depth, making sure it is stable. Finally, we’ll build your drainage field and make sure everything is up and running before leaving.
When everything in installed, we’ll backfill and can offer landscaping services to help get everything back looking great in no time!
