Drainage & Irrigation

Septic tank care and timely servicing are key for longevity Groundworks’ contractor DT Groundworks (DTG) offers advice on the importance of looking after your tank, regular servicing and choosing a knowledgeable company to carry out surveys and rectify issues. For those in properties not connected to a mains sewer, with your septic tank or sewage treatment plant tucked away underground, it is easy for it to slip your mind. Remember, ground movement, vehicle traffic over the top of the system site, the age of your system, as well as how you look after it (e.g., using household chemicals that can damage the bacteria within your treatment plant), can all cause problems with

how it runs. Looking after your tank and timely servicing is crucial for the longevity of your system, and using a trusted and knowledgeable company to rectify any issues and carry out surveys is a necessity. Furthermore, the new Environment Agency General Binding Rules, which came into effect in January 2020, require that if you are selling or buying a property with a septic tank, you must ensure it is not running directly into

time and money. As part of its offering, it provides expert water treatment system installation, design, and maintenance for domestic and commercial properties. With 40 years’ experience, the company has a reputation for quality workmanship, timely completion of works and cost-effective prices.
