Professional Septic Tank & Waste Treatment Plant Surveys
Ensuring your off-mains drainage is compliant and reliable. We are Devon's trusted specialists for homeowners and property buyers across the county.

Regular or pre-emptive surveys of your wastewater treatment plant are not just a good idea; they're often a necessity. Over time, components can wear, blockages can occur, or the system might simply not be performing as it should. Without a professional survey, you could be facing costly repairs down the line, or worse, non-compliance with Environment Agency (EA) regulations, leading to potential fines and environmental impact. For homeowners in Bradninch, Cullompton, Tiverton, and across Mid Devon, our surveys are a crucial step in proactive maintenance, helping you avoid unexpected breakdowns and ensuring your system is efficient and legal. We thoroughly inspect every part of your plant, from the inlet pipework to the final soakaway or discharge point, ensuring its longevity and proper operation.

Our detailed waste treatment plant surveys are designed to provide a full picture of your system's health. We utilise advanced CCTV drain camera technology to inspect all internal pipework, identify any blockages, structural defects, or root ingress that might be compromising performance. Our engineers meticulously check all mechanical components, including aeration systems, pumps, and filters, for wear and tear. We assess the effluent quality where appropriate, ensuring it meets discharge consent standards. If your system uses a soakaway, we'll examine its functionality and conduct percolation tests if required to determine its effectiveness. You’ll receive a comprehensive report detailing our findings, complete with recommendations for any necessary repairs, maintenance, or upgrades.

Through our extensive experience serving properties across Devon, we regularly encounter a range of issues during waste treatment plant surveys. These often include internal blockages caused by fat, oil, and grease (FOG) build-up or foreign objects. We frequently identify signs of component wear, such as faulty aerators, failing pumps, or damaged media filters, which can significantly reduce a plant's efficiency. Non-compliance with current Environment Agency general binding rules or specific discharge consents is another common finding, especially with older installations. Our surveys can also pinpoint issues with the drainage field or soakaway, which may be struggling due to ground saturation or lack of maintenance, leading to standing water or odours. Identifying these problems early saves you money and prevents bigger headaches.
