Time for a Septic System Upgrade or a Brand New Solution?

Septic tanks are essential for properties without access to the public sewer network. But why might you need a new one? Perhaps your existing system is showing signs of failure – slow drains, foul odours, or soggy patches in the garden. Or maybe you're building a new domestic or commercial property and require a compliant drainage solution. New regulations also mean older systems sometimes need replacing. Whatever your reason, we’re here to help you understand your options and choose the right high-quality system that meets all current standards and serves your property for years to come.

From Planning to Perfect Flow: Our Step-by-Step Septic Tank Service

Installing a septic tank isn't just about digging a hole; it's a precise job that requires careful planning and execution. Our experienced team manages the entire project, providing a stress-free experience for our customers. We start with a thorough site survey to assess your property's specific needs and ground conditions. Then, we help you choose the ideal septic tank or sewage treatment plant, ensuring it's sized correctly and compliant with local regulations. Our professional excavation and installation process follows, connecting your new system efficiently and testing everything rigorously. Finally, we'll carefully reinstate your garden or driveway, leaving the site clean and tidy, with minimal disruption.

Septic Tank vs. Sewage Treatment Plant: Making the Right Choice

Not all off-mains drainage solutions are the same. We specialise in installing both traditional septic tanks and modern sewage treatment plants, along with soakaways. A septic tank collects and treats wastewater, with the treated effluent usually dispersing into a soakaway system. Sewage treatment plants offer a more advanced level of treatment, often discharging cleaner water directly into a watercourse, subject to environmental permits. We'll explain the differences, consider your property's specific ground conditions, discharge options, and budget, guiding you to the most suitable, compliant, and cost-effective solution for your domestic or commercial needs.

What Our Clients Say About Fast Drainage Northwest

"Kyle was prompt and efficient and a lovely guy. My cloakroom drain was blocked and he fixed in no time at all. Very reasonable price and would highly recommend his services."

Vivienne Smith

"Kyle was the first to reply to my add and phoned me letting me know what time he would arrive to sort out my problem. He was polite and efficient, cleaned up after he has unblocked my drain and did a brilliant job in less than half an hour. I am more than happy with the work."

Ian Williams

"We needed a new soil pipe fitting, and Kyle assessed the job and quoted that same day. He completed the work in a day and a half, and did a brilliant job. Minimal disruption, and everything cleared up afterwards. Oh, and a good price as well. Highly recommended!"

What does the 30-day guarantee cover?

If we unblock a drain and it blocks up again within 30 days (as long as it’s not because someone flushed something they shouldn't have!), we will come back and clear it again for free.

Can you clean my driveway as well?

+

We certainly can. Along with our drain work, we offer professional pressure washing to get your paths and patios looking like new again.
