Sewage Treatment Plant Servicing in Shrewsbury
Annual servicing, repairs and health checks for all makes of package sewage treatment plant, keeping your discharge compliant and your warranty intact. Serving Shrewsbury and the surrounding villages, including Baschurch, Bomere Heath, Bayston Hill, Condover.
A sewage treatment plant is a working machine with moving parts, and like a boiler it needs a routine service to stay reliable. Manufacturers require an annual service to keep warranties valid, and the General Binding Rules require your system to be maintained so its discharge stays within the standard it was designed to meet.
The barn conversions and newer rural builds in the villages around Shrewsbury mostly run on package plants rather than old brick tanks, which makes annual servicing the routine maintenance job in this district. A plant at a Baschurch conversion that misses its service quietly degrades into an undersized septic tank, and the written service record is what a buyer’s solicitor will ask for when these properties change hands — as they frequently do in this busy market.
The villages and scattered farms around Shrewsbury are classic off-mains territory. Older properties typically run on septic tanks of varying vintages, newer rural builds and barn conversions on package treatment plants, and it is common for a property changing hands here to be the first time anyone has looked hard at the system in years.
Watercourses and the rules around Shrewsbury
The Severn dominates the local drainage, fed by a network of brooks such as the Rea Brook and Cound Brook. Plenty of rural properties here have a ditch or watercourse within metres of the tank, which is exactly the situation the General Binding Rules were written for: septic tank discharge to those watercourses is no longer permitted.
