Septic Tank Emptying Leicestershire

FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Leicestershire?
Empty it at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. Leicestershire's clay drains slowly, so a drainage field clogged by solids from an overfull tank is hard to bring back.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Leicestershire?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear or lack of maintenance. We check your policy and can help with the claim.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in Leicestershire?
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. You may also need a permit near drinking-water sources or protected wildlife sites, and new homes near the River Mease have extra rules. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Leicestershire?
Severn Trent looks after the public sewers. If your home isn't on the mains, your septic tank or treatment plant is yours to look after, and we handle emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements across Leicestershire.
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 clay, standing water after heavy rain can look like a failed drainage field, so it's worth a check before assuming the worst.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Leicestershire?
Yes. Our head office at Syston is in Leicestershire, about 4 miles from Leicester city centre, 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.
