Every property needs to have a drainage system installed. It may be as straight forward as a connection required to the public sewer. However, sometimes a connection to the public sewer is not possible so the installation of an off-mains drainage system is needed. An off-mains drainage system can comprise of one or multiple different tanks which will provide a complete drainage service to the property.
Typical examples of these variations can be seen below:
Soakaway – A soakaway is used to discharge waste water into the ground.
Septic Tank – A septic tank will separate waste solids from liquids before discharging the waste water.
Treatment Plant – A treatment plant is used to treat waste water before the water can be discharged into a drainage field/watercourse.
Percolation Test – A percolation test will assess different ground conditions, to calculate the size and location for a drainage field to be installed.
Pumping Station – A pumping station is used to lift the waste waste to a higher level if it can not be achieved through gravity alone to its destination.
Cesspool – A cesspool is a sealed tank used for storing waste on a mass scale which will need to be emptied on a regular basis.
