Septic Tank Installation
The installation of a Septic Tank is a very specialised piece of Ground works, this involves Percolation Testing, Binding Rules checks & Part H Building Regulations approval to achieve a successful install. Sometimes you may require a drainage field survey – and we’re a trusted supplier in Yorkshire!
A Septic Tank forms the settlement stage for sewage treatment, Septic Tanks can only be discharged to ground and as such Drainage Fields are typically installed at the same time.
To have your new Septic Tank installed – or for more information on drainage field installations in Yorkshire – give us a Call, Email or fill in the enquiry form below to get the ball rolling.

Step 1 - Pre-Construction
Before a Septic Tank Installation can begin we will need to carry out a Site Visit. Depending on your current Drainage System this stage can also include various checks on the existing drainage network against “the binding rules” and in some instances require a Drainage Survey. We are high quality suppliers of Drainage Surveys in Yorkshire
Step 2 - Construction Phase
Once the pre-construction phase has gathered all the information required to install the new Septic Tank you will be provided with a start date. On average an installation takes 5- 10 working days including any Landscaping which may have been disturbed during the installation.
Step 3 - Completion
Upon completion of the Septic Tank Installation our Construction Manager will visit site to sign off the work as complete. Finally the Building Control Certificates are issued for the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the life expectancy of a Drainage Field?
A typical life expectancy of a Drainage Field is anywhere between 10 – 30 Years. This is highly dependant on how much use the system gets and the ground conditions the Drainage Field is installed in. We cover all areas of Yorkshire for drainage field installation.
I don't have room in my garden for a new Drainage Field, what do I do?
Is my system compliant with the latest binding rules?
This question gets asked all the time, the problem is without a Compliance Survey being carried out we really can’t say for certain. The new rules are all to do with ensuring that your Drainage Network is not polluting the environment, many people and companies are getting these new rules confused with building control! there is a lot of incorrect information out there regarding old Septic Tanks and the belief that they all need upgrading to a Waste Treatment Plant, This is not the case. The rules for a private Domestic Sewage Networks is where we specialise.

What happens if I don't get my Septic Tank emptied?
The short answer is whichever system you have will ultimately breakdown and emptying charges can see dramatic increases if the waste can not be removed and disposed of in the normal manner. Failure to empty a Septic Tank or Waste Treatment Plant regularly causes an excess build up of solids in the Tank, for systems connected to Drainage Fields if the solids enter the outlet they will cause a complete backup of your system which can only normally be repaired with a replacement Drainage field installation! For Sewage Treatment Plants please think of the Environment that we all share, Sewage Treatment Plants that don’t get Emptied and Serviced on a regular basis have additional problems and breakdown much faster than their Septic Tank counterparts due to the mechanical components inside of them. Also they are also more likely to cause pollution as they are usually directly connected to our water courses. It can be easy to miss a breakdown on these so please check them regularly, if you need advice with this please let us know.
