Installing a septic tank is a complicated and involved project. There are numerous rules and regulations surrounding septic tanks covering everything – from where it can be situated, to where the waste water must go once it leaves the septic tank.
It is no longer legal to discharge the waste water from a septic tank straight to a watercourse or ditch, so it can only go to a soakaway or drainage field. Calculating the format and size of soakaway system is crucial in avoiding any septic tank problems in future, and often needs percolation-tests undertaken to make sure that the ground is suitable.
