Septic Tanks & Water Treatment Plants

Septic tanks and sewage treatment plants serve similar purposes, but treatment plants offer a higher level of waste processing. While septic tanks require only periodic emptying, treatment plants need regular servicing to keep moving parts in good condition.

Selecting between the two depends on your property location, ground conditions, and local regulations in East Sussex.

Septic tanks should be emptied regularly to prevent blockages and overflows. Our high-capacity tankers remove waste safely and with minimal disruption to your home or business.

Maintenance checks include inspecting baffles, inlet and outlet pipes, and the drainage field to keep everything operating smoothly.

Servicing covers inspection of aerators, pumps, and electrical controls, as well as cleaning chambers where solids collect. Regular attention prevents breakdowns and extends the system’s lifespan.

We support treatment plant users in Lancing, Littlehampton, and across East Sussex with scheduled maintenance visits.

If your system overflows or backs up, we offer 24/7 emergency callouts year-round. The aim is to reach properties within an hour of your call, including evenings and weekends.

From Brighton flats to rural homes near Falmer, we bring rapid help and specialist equipment to tackle urgent problems.

A sewage treatment plant uses a combination of oxygen and mechanical processes to break down household waste. Unlike septic tanks, treatment plants produce cleaner wastewater that can be safely discharged into a watercourse or drainage field.

Homes and commercial sites around Lewes, Worthing, and Hove often use treatment plants where stricter environmental controls are in place.

Installation involves assessing your site for access, ground type, and the size of tank required. Our engineers excavate, install the tank, and connect it to your property’s drainage system, ensuring all pipework is properly fitted.

From Brighton to rural villages like Pyecombe and Rottingdean, we handle both new systems and upgrades in line with current standards.

Common issues include cracked tanks, damaged pipework, or failing soakaways. We carry out CCTV surveys to locate problems, followed by excavation, pipe replacement, or repairs as needed.

Whether in Henfield or Portslade, our team ensures repairs meet local regulations and come with a written guarantee.

Regulations set by the Environment Agency affect how waste is stored and disposed of from your tank or plant. We provide advice on compliance and ensure all work aligns with current legal standards.

Our services help properties in Newhaven, Peacehaven, and beyond avoid fines or environmental harm.

A failing drainage field can cause surface flooding, pooling, or unpleasant smells. Our engineers carry out inspections using CCTV equipment to check for blockages or damage.

If repairs or replacement are needed, we use suitable materials for the local soil type, keeping disruption to a minimum.
