Septic Tanks & Water Treatment Plants

Septic tanks are simple, with minimal moving parts and basic separation of waste. They suit larger plots or older cottages in places like Theale and Aldermaston.

Water treatment plants are more technical and need power to operate pumps or blowers, fitting for newer homes or close-to-stream properties.

Periodic emptying stops solids from building up and helps prevent blockages or soakaway problems. For most Berkshire homes, this means emptying every one to three years.

Technicians can also check for leaks or trapped sludge, so your tank continues working as it should.

Treatment plants need regular checks and cleaning, especially for aeration units or electrical components. Only certified engineers should service or repair these systems.

Routine servicing keeps treatment quality high and helps avoid system alarms or warning lights.

Sudden smells, overflows or blocked outlets need urgent attention. Our team is ready to respond to emergencies at any hour, all year round.

Call if you notice unusual wet patches or warning alarms from your septic tank or treatment plant.

A water treatment plant is a more advanced system compared to traditional septic tanks. It uses mechanical and biological processes for a higher level of wastewater treatment.

These systems produce a cleaner outflow, suitable for environmentally sensitive locations around areas like Whitchurch or Pangbourne.

Installing a new septic tank involves excavation and connecting pipework from your property. Assessment of soil conditions and legal compliance is part of the job.

Our engineers install tanks to suit both family homes and business premises, ensuring proper drainage away from the building.

Cracks, collapsed chambers or faulty inlet pipes can all interrupt a tank’s function. Repair work might involve patching, replacing sections, or fitting new lids.

Once repairs are completed, a written guarantee covers the work done on your property.

All septic tanks and treatment plants must meet Environment Agency regulations. Regular servicing and correct installation help prevent pollution or penalties.

We advise on upgrades if your current system doesn’t meet rules for areas like Thatcham or Newbury.

The drainage field disperses treated water safely into the ground. Signs of failure include slow drainage or pooled water above ground.

Inspections use CCTV for underground checks and repairs often focus on blocked or broken pipes leading from the tank.
