FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Shropshire?
At least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. Regular emptying also protects the water under north Shropshire, where nitrate is already a problem.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Shropshire?
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 Shropshire?
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. In the River Clun area, the council adds its own tests for new systems. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Shropshire?
If your home isn't connected to the mains, the septic tank or treatment plant is yours to look after. Severn Trent, or Welsh Water or United Utilities in some areas, only maintains the public sewers. UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements for private systems across Shropshire.
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. On north Shropshire's heavy clay, wet ground after rain can just be slow drainage, so it's worth a check before assuming the worst.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Shropshire?
Yes. Our Birmingham Business Park depot at Solihull Parkway covers Shropshire, 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.
