Septic Tank Inspection
Having a septic tank inspection carried out is not always at the forefront of home buyers minds when purchasing a new property. However, a septic tank inspection can prevent home buyers inheriting a septic tank that is failing or non-
Septic tank inspections are not only important when buying a new property but are just as important for existing owners of septic tanks to ensure their system is compliant with regulations and to highlight any failures of a system before they become severe.
Septic Tank Inspections – Home Buyers
If you are buying a property connected to a septic tank then our septic tank inspection service will identify if the system is working effectively, highlighting any operation problems and compliance with regulations.
During a septic tank inspection we can identify if the septic tank is operating at the correct level and determine if the system has failed or surcharged in the past. We are also able to determine if the septic tank is correctly sized. In many instances a septic tank can fail if a larger family start using the system and hydraulically overload the system. Therefore, determining the septic tank is sized for property as opposed to the current users is crucial.
Our septic tank inspections also determine if an existing septic tank is compliant with regulations. A septic tank should only discharge to an underground soakaway / drainage field. Under no circumstances should a septic tank discharge to a ditch, stream or watercourse. It is not uncommon for septic tanks to discharge to a watercourse, which under the General Binding Rules is an offence.
The General Binding Rules was introduced in January 2015 by DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) and the Environment Agency to simplify the way septic tanks and sewage treatment plants are regulated in England. Read more…
Septic Tank Inspection – Existing Owners
Existing users of septic tanks only tend to think about their septic tank when its due for emptying or when the system is causing problems. Unfortunately, a failing septic tank can be very frustrating for users as it can effect the use of the drainage facilities and in some instances cause untreated effluent to puddle on the surface of the ground.
In many instances the failure of a septic tank or receiving soakaway / drainage field can be prevented. A septic tank inspection will often identify if there are any issues regarding a septic tank that could eventually lead to the failure of a system. Should a septic tank have already failed, our septic tank inspection service will determine the cause for the failure and identify what options are available to resolve the situation.
Septic Tank Inspections – What to look out for!
