Our Groundwork Services

We can help with...

Treatment Plants

How we can help:

Common Problems:
● Bad smells around garden or property
● Slow draining / frequent blockages
● Overflowing tank or soggy ground
● Backups into toilets/sinks
● Old systems no longer coping with usage

Compliance & Legal Reasons (UK):
● Old septic tanks discharging to ditches/streams are no longer compliant
● Must meet General Binding Rules (Environment Agency)
● Property sales can be held up or refused if system is non-compliant
● Fines or enforcement if pollution occurs

System Failure / Age:
● Cracked tanks or collapsing brick-built systems
● Failed soakaways (water not dispersing)
● Increased household usage (extensions, more occupants)

Why Upgrade to a Treatment Plant:
● Cleaner, fully treated discharge (environmentally compliant)
● Lower risk of smells and blockages
● Suitable for properties without mains drainage
● Future-proof against tightening regulations
