A septic tank is a vital component of many residential and commercial properties’ wastewater management systems. It is an underground chamber where sewage and wastewater from the property are collected and allowed to separate, with solids sinking to the bottom and liquids flowing out into a drainage field for further treatment.
Homes and businesses often rely on septic tanks in areas where municipal sewer systems are not available. Septic tanks provide an efficient and environmentally friendly way to manage wastewater on-site, reducing the need for costly infrastructure and minimising the impact on the surrounding environment.
At Central Drains we offer our customers a comprehensive and high quality septic tank installation service tailored to meet the unique needs of your particular property.

We prioritise professionalism, efficiency, and affordability, making us the preferred choice for all your septic tank requirements.
The requirements depend on the system and where it discharges. First, check whether the discharge goes to the ground or to surface water. Then review the Environment Agency general binding rules for your situation.
For a discharge to ground, the guidance refers to a suitable drainage field. However, a septic tank must not discharge directly to a watercourse. If your system does this, review the official guidance and discuss suitable changes with a drainage specialist.
The relevant standards depend on the equipment and installation date. For example, the guidance covers BS EN 12566 for treatment equipment and BS 6297:2007 for drainage fields. Before choosing replacement work, ask our team to assess the site and discuss the options. You can then check the proposed system against the official discharge-to-ground guidance.
