THE RULES CONTROLLING OFF MAINS wastewater HAVE CHANGED SINCE 2020.

Is your Home Compliant?

Since 2020, new rules have been introduced that control off mains wastewater. If you own a septic tank that discharges directly into surface water without undergoing further treatment, then your system is no longer compliant. Don't risk being liable for a fixed penalty fine from the Environment Agency, upgrade or replace your septic tank now.

DRAINAGE SURVEYS

We offer drainage surveys for home buyers and sellers, where we assess the operation, condition, and compliance of your system. This is especially crucial when purchasing a home with a septic tank, as many will now be classified as non-compliant (since January 2020). Please get in touch for a survey and report quote. This cost is refundable if we carry out any recommended work.

General Binding Rules (2015)

General Binding Rules (2015) regulate small sewage discharge from homes without access to mains drainage. They aim to reduce pollution leeching into watercourses by ensuring all wastewater goes through secondary treatment before entering a watercourse. These rules are now actively enforced post-Covid lockdown. Contact us today to ensure your home complies with these regulations."
