Understanding the latest environmental regulations for wastewater discharge can be complex. Since 2020, there are stricter rules regarding how septic tank effluent is discharged into watercourses. As NADC accredited drainage experts, we stay completely up-to-date with all current Building Regulations and Environment Agency General Binding Rules. When we undertake your septic tank installation in Devon, you can rely on us to design and install a system that is fully compliant, avoiding potential fines and environmental issues. We can advise on the best solution for your property, whether it's a traditional septic tank with a drainage field (soakaway) or a modern sewage treatment plant that processes wastewater to a higher standard before discharge. Our team covers all of Devon, from Honiton to Tavistock, making compliance straightforward for you.

Our installation process is thorough and transparent. It typically begins with a detailed site visit to assess your property, conduct a percolation test (to determine soil absorption rates for soakaways), and discuss your specific requirements. Based on this, we'll recommend the most suitable septic tank or wastewater treatment plant. Once agreed, our skilled team manages all aspects of the installation, including excavation, precise positioning of the tank, connection of foul and surface water drainage, and construction of the drainage field or connection to the appropriate discharge point. We use robust materials and adhere to the highest standards of workmanship, ensuring a durable and efficient system. We also provide clear instructions on future maintenance, including regular emptying schedules, to keep your system running optimally. Our engineers are based locally in Exeter, Exmouth, and Torquay, ready to serve your needs efficiently.

For properties requiring a higher level of wastewater treatment, or where a traditional septic tank and soakaway isn't suitable, we specialise in the installation of advanced wastewater treatment plants. These modern systems use a more sophisticated biological process to treat effluent to a much cleaner standard, often allowing for discharge directly into a ditch or watercourse, where regulations permit. We can advise on the best type of package treatment plant for your home or commercial site in Devon, considering factors like power consumption, maintenance requirements, and the specific environmental conditions. These units offer an excellent, environmentally responsible solution for off-mains drainage, providing peace of mind and long-term performance.
