Websites for septic tank specialists
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.
