SEPTIC TANK REPLACEMENT
Avoid Fines, Flooding & Environmental Damage
Older septic tanks often fail to meet the latest UK standards, especially the Environment Agency’s General Binding Rules. Many property owners are unaware their system needs replacement until it’s too late. Common problems include:
Septic tanks discharging directly into a watercourse (now illegal)
Damaged or collapsed tanks causing leaks or pollution
Overflowing or foul-smelling systems affecting residents or neighbours
Failed surveys during property sales or site development
Ground movement or root ingress causing tank instability
Lack of compliance documentation or Building Control approval
