FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Staffordshire?
At least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. On Staffordshire's clay, a drainage field that takes in solids is slow to clear, so regular emptying saves digging it up later.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Staffordshire?
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 Staffordshire?
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 Cannock Chase or the River Mease. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Staffordshire?
If your home isn't connected to the mains, the septic tank or treatment plant is yours to look after. Severn Trent only maintains the public sewers. UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements for private systems across Staffordshire.
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 Staffordshire's clay, ground can stay wet for a while after heavy rain, so it's worth a check before assuming the worst.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Staffordshire?
Yes. Our Birmingham Business Park depot at Solihull Parkway covers Staffordshire. 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.
