Sewage Treatment FAQ
What are the signs that my sewage system has a problem?
Common warning signs include slow-draining sinks and toilets, unpleasant smells around the tank area or drainage field, gurgling sounds from the pipes, or water/sewage backing up into your property. If you notice any of these, call us immediately.
What's the difference between a septic tank and a sewage treatment plant?
A septic tank simply separates solids from liquid waste, which then soaks away into a drainage field. A sewage treatment plant uses a mechanical process to actively treat the waste, producing a much cleaner, non-polluting effluent that can often be discharged directly into a watercourse (subject to an Environment Agency permit).
Can I put wet wipes, fats, or oils down the drain?
No. Items like wet wipes, sanitary products, and nappies do not break down and are the number one cause of blockages in sewage systems. Likewise, fats, oils, and grease will solidify in your pipes and tank, leading to blockages and potential damage.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency callouts for sewage problems?
Yes, absolutely. We provide a 24/7 emergency response service for all urgent sewage issues, including blockages, overflows, and pump failures. Our team is ready to help day or night.
Why is my sewage treatment alarm sounding?
An alarm usually signals a problem, such as a pump failure, a blockage, or a power cut to the system. If your alarm goes off, it's important to have it inspected by a professional as soon as possible to prevent a sewage overflow. Give our team a call, and we'll investigate.
