FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Rutland?
At least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. On Rutland's clay, a drainage field clogged by an overfull tank can take a long time to recover, so don't let it go too long.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Rutland?
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 Rutland?
Under the general binding rules, a septic tank must not drain straight into a river, stream or ditch. If yours does, you need to upgrade: connect to the mains sewer, switch to a drainage field, or fit a treatment plant. You may also need a permit near drinking-water sources or protected wildlife sites such as Rutland Water. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Rutland?
If your home isn't connected to the mains, the septic tank or treatment plant is yours to look after. Anglian Water only maintains the public sewers. UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements for private systems across Rutland.
What are the signs of septic tank failure?
Slow drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes, sewage backing up and wet, boggy ground over the drainage field. After big storms, water lying on clay 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 Rutland?
Yes. Our head office at Syston, near Leicester, covers Rutland, 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.
