When sewage treatment problems strike, they can cause all kinds of issues for your home or business, which is why the experts at Proseptic are always on hand to help get you out of a mess.
Our years of experience and unbeatable customer service mean we’re the number one choice to get your drainage problems sorted, providing a unique solution for sewage treatment plants, septic tanks, soakaways and drains of all sizes and configurations.
Depending on the nature of the fault, we will carry out repairs to restore your existing system to proper working order, or we can future-proof your sewage treatment by installing a brand new system to replace the old one.
Let’s break down the different sewage treatment and drainage solutions and explain when and why we might choose one solution over another.
In cases where the damage to your sewage treatment system isn’t too serious, we can provide effective solutions to get things back up and running again in no time.
To determine the condition of your drainage system, sewage treatment plant, or septic tank, we’ll conduct a survey to assess the extent of the damage and identify any potential problems before they turn into bigger issues.
Once we have surveyed the site, we can provide you with a no-obligation quote and expert advice on your next steps, including our recommendations for the best solution.
Over the years, your pipes and drains can become worn out, which can cause them to fail – when they do, the last thing you need is expensive excavations to replace them.
Instead of digging up your old drains, we can reinforce your existing system with stronger, new pipes inside of your original ones, providing a cost-effective way of extending the life of your drains.
If you’re noticing a funny smell, your sinks are starting to gargle, or dark water is coming back up your drains, it could be a sign that some of the pipes in your system are blocked.
Blockages most commonly form in the shallow pipes which make up your domestic drainage system, and can be caused by a number of factors, including heavy rainfall, ground subsidence, and flushing the wrong things down your toilet.
To keep everything in good working order, you need to get them unblocked as soon as possible – blocked pipes can lead to further damage if your system overflows or one of your overstressed pipes bursts.
Proseptic can locate any blockages quickly using a CCTV drainage survey, applying our expert knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment to unblock your drains and stop your system from overflowing.
Your septic tank processes effluent to be safely discharged into the environment, but if the quality of this released water isn’t up to regulatory standards, you’ll need to have a retrofit system installed.
A septic tank retrofit involves the installation of a conversion unit to upgrade the capabilities of your existing system (in order to stay compliant with the General Binding Rules).
Our engineers are up to date on the latest septic tank regulations, so we can ensure your upgraded system is compliant and stop you from facing hefty fines from the local council.
If your existing drains and sewage treatment plant are properly maintained, issues rarely occur, but if there are serious faults, your system is older, or your outlet is non-compliant, the best way to get your sewage treatment system back up to standard is to replace it with a brand spanking new one.
Although septic tank failures are rare, as they are robust methods of sewage treatment, problems can happen to your system over time – broken components or cracks in your tank can render your septic system useless, and you’ll need to install a new septic tank if you want to get your sewage treatment under control again.
Another reason why you might need a septic tank replacement could be as a result of non-compliance, since older septic tanks are not as efficient at cleaning effluent as newer models.
It’s now illegal for your septic tank to discharge into surface water, and there are increasingly strict regulations on where your septic tank can be located – fortunately, Proseptic can make sure your new septic tank is compliant with local laws and regulations.
We offer professional septic tank replacements for customers across South England, getting your sewage treatment sorted quickly, efficiently and for a great price.
Domestic and commercial properties which operate using off-mains drainage often utilise a sewage treatment plant to process their sewage due to their efficiency, which is why multiple properties can sometimes use the same system.
If you have to replace your septic tank, you might decide to swap it out for a sewage treatment plant instead, as they are capable of cleaning effluent to a much higher standard than septic tanks.
When it comes to replacing your sewage treatment plant, you need a system which matches the size of your property, the number of occupants, and much more – that’s why Proseptic can provide custom sewage treatment plant installations and solutions for you.
Soakaways and drainage fields allow treated effluent to be released slowly into the environment without polluting the surrounding area, which is why you must ensure you replace it quickly (or find a suitable alternative) if you discover a fault or your soakaway experiences a failure.
You will also need to ensure that you have the right soakaway if you have a septic tank, as non-compliant discharges of wastewater can lead to large fines and prosecution by your local council.
Replacing a soakaway can be a big job, which is why our experts can help things to flow smoothly – one of our team is always on hand to answer any questions and address any concerns you might have throughout the process.
No matter your sewage treatment problem, our team will help design and implement the best possible solution for your property.
