Websites for septic tank specialists
Web design for septic tank specialists: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Rules changed and most owners do not know. Explaining them generates the work.
A great many rural householders have no idea that the rules governing small sewage discharges changed, and that a tank discharging straight into a ditch or stream is no longer acceptable.
They usually find out at the worst moment — when they are selling and a buyer's solicitor asks. A firm that explains the position clearly, before that happens, becomes the obvious people to ring.
What your customers want answered
- Does my existing tank comply, and how do I tell
- What has to happen if it discharges to a stream or ditch
- How often should it be emptied, and what does that cost
- What do I need in place when I sell the house
- Will a treatment plant need power and servicing
Set out the general binding rules in plain EnglishUnder the rules for small sewage discharges, a septic tank must not discharge directly to a watercourse: the discharge has to go to ground through a properly sized drainage field, or the tank has to be replaced or upgraded to a treatment plant. Saying so plainly, and explaining that it typically has to be resolved when a property changes hands, answers the question owners actually have.
Talking only about emptying
Emptying is the low-value repeat job. Compliance, replacement and pre-sale advice are where the substantial work is, and the customers searching for those questions never find a page that only advertises a tanker.
Rural customers with specific problems
Septic tank customers are mostly rural homeowners, farms and holiday-let owners, often dealing with a smell, a backing-up drain, a failed survey or a house sale. Explain the services clearly: emptying, inspections and surveys, repairs, soakaway problems, and replacing tanks with treatment plants.
The rules, in plain English
In England, the general binding rules for small sewage discharges changed what many septic tank owners must do, particularly where tanks discharge to a watercourse. Explain in plain language that this affects some owners, say whether you can assess compliance and upgrade systems, and link to the official guidance rather than paraphrasing the law.
Homebuyers and sellers often need a survey quickly; a page for property sale inspections is worth having.
Show the work
Photos of treatment plant installations, soakaway works and tidy reinstated gardens reassure customers who are worried about disruption on their land.
