What our customers say
I would like to thank you regarding the claim you handled for me regarding my Septic Tank. You kept me fully informed of progress with my Insurance Company. The replacement tank was installed last month. I am so relieved that the work is now complete. I would be grateful if you could also pass on my thanks to Kevin. I think he attended three times and he was always very professional and reassuring.
Rob and his collegues kept me informed at every stage in the process and efficiently coordinated with everyone involved. Friendly and professional service. Happy to recommend.
Very positive experience using this company. Arrived as the property as expected and the report was delivered in a timely manner. We raised a couple of follow up queries and the communication was outstanding with all queries responded to in a thorough and timely manner. It is very clear there is a wealth of knowledge within the company and we would highly recommend. A shout out to James W and David who assisted with the queries and attended the property.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Chester?
At least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. Book before the wet months: where clay sits near the surface, a soakaway clogged with solids has little chance to recover.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Chester?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear. We check your policy and can help with the claim.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in Chester?
Under the general binding rules, a septic tank must not drain straight into a river, stream or ditch, and if yours does, you need to upgrade to the mains sewer, a drainage field or a treatment plant. A permit may be needed near drinking-water sources or protected wildlife sites, such as the River Dee. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Chester?
Welsh Water looks after the public sewers in the city centre, and United Utilities covers parts of the wider district. If your home isn't on the mains, your septic tank or treatment plant is yours to look after, and UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements.
What are the signs of septic tank failure?
Slow drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes, sewage backing up and boggy ground over the drainage field. On the clay around Chester, ground over a soakaway can stay wet for days after rain, so we check the drainage field as well as the tank.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Chester?
Yes. We cover Chester from our Birmingham Business Park depot at Solihull Parkway, and our engineers come to you. Call us on 0800 028 9903.
How much does a septic tank inspection cost near me?
A septic tank inspection costs £399 including VAT. Emptying, where needed, is charged separately.
