Septic Tank Installation

When it comes to Wastewater treatment plants or Septic Tank installation look no further than J&F Drainage.

Under the Environment Agency General Binding Rules, Boreholes and Soakaways are not acceptable. Soakaway Creates and Tunnels are also not allowed for septic tanks or any sewage effluent, only for rainwater. All septic tanks whose effluent finds its way into ditches or streams, either directly, or by mistake, have to be replaced with sewage treatment plants.


Septic Tank Maintenance


All septic tanks require emptying once a year. They only hold 12 months’ sludge storage and if sludge starts to empty into the soakaway soil, it very quickly blocks the air spaces (porosity) in the soil, the effluent cannot soak away, you suffer a soakaway failure and the septic tank fills up, backing up the system.
