Do I Need a Septic Tank Installed?

Septic tanks are required for most rural homes that are looking to connect directly to the municipal sewer line. For rural areas, municipal lines are rarely available, so this is where septic tanks are essential. Without a septic tank, the water won’t be able to be treated, which is crucial for the reasons listed above. If you are moving into a new home without a pre-existing septic tank, it is your responsibility to source and install one. 

Septic Tank Problems in Hampshire

Septic tank problems in Hampshire should be identified early to ensure the tank can be restored to its normal functionality. However, septic tank p[roblems can be difficult to spot, as the system is buried underground. There are some key signs that may increase the likelihood of septic tank problems occurring, these may include:

• Your septic tank has not been emptied for some time
• You are moving into a new house and are not sure how long ago the tank was emptied or inspected
• You notice draining problems in your home (sinks, baths, showers)
• Patches of grass around the septic tank are greener than other areas

If you notice one or more of these septic tank problems, please contact us and we’ll send an engineer to your property in Hampshire to asses the issue.

Plan for Septic Tank Replacement & Installation

One of the most important things to consider when preparing for septic tank replacement or installation in Hampshire is ensuring there is access to your land and whether that land can be excavated. This is because heavy equipment is required to carry the tank and then safely install it, you may also have to prepare an excavation budget if you don’t currently have a septic tank, as it’s likely we will need to dig up some land in order to install the tank. 

If you’re a new home buyer or building a brand new house (or having one built) we’d strongly recommend scheduling the septic tank excavation before the construction process begins. In most cases, this is before the driveways and sidewalks are built, but after the mainframe of the property is built. 

Septic Tank Surveys in Hampshire

Septic tank Surveys in Hampshire allow us to offer a full report on the health and overall functionality of your septic tank. This includes a thorough inspection by one of our engineers and a full written survey report. More specifically, this will include:

• Inspection of major chambers
• CCTV septic tank survey of all accessible pipework
• A summary of the tank’s compliance with 2021 regulations
• Effluent quality test for working sewage treatment plant systems
• And an optional quote to replace the septic tank (if required)

Your Septic Tank Options

There are three main septic tank options you will want to consider, each of which come with their own benefits depending on the context of their installation requirements.

Conventional Septic Tank Systems

Conventional septic tanks use gravity to shift household sewage into the septic tank. Once in the tank, the filters inside help separate the sewage into layers; solid waste settling at the bottom and liquid sewage rising to the top. When the liquid sewage rises to the top, it reaches what’s known as the outflow pipe, it flows into the drain field where it gets decomposed further. Conventional systems are typically the most affordable, coming in at around £2,000 – £2,500.

Alternative Septic Systems

These types of sewage treatment systems work in a similar way to conventional systems, but use oxygen to break down the sewage as opposed to bacteria. It’s worth noting that drain fields for alternative systems don’t need as much land as conventional systems and also release cleaner wastewater. However, because of this unique benefit, alternative septic treatment systems demand a higher price.

Engineered Septic Systems 

Without a doubt, the most complex system (but by no means more difficult to install), is the engineered sewage treatment system. Engineered septic systems are required when the poor is not of high enough quality or the property is situated on a hill or upward slope. Engineered systems work in the same way as conventional and alternative systems, in that they collect and separate wastewater in the tank. 

However, engineered systems do not rely on gravity, instead, the liquid is pumped into a leach field to ensure it’s evenly distributed through the land. This type of drainage solution falls in the middle price bracket between conventional and alternative systems.
