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 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.
A neglected plant fails quietly. The blower stops, the bacteria die back, and the plant slowly turns into an undersized septic tank, discharging poorly treated effluent to a watercourse or drainage field. By the time there is a smell or a visible problem, the fix is often a repair bill rather than a service.
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.

Sewage Treatment Plant Servicing: common questions
How often should a treatment plant be serviced?
Annually for almost all domestic plants, in line with the manufacturer’s instructions. Plants under heavier use, such as holiday lets, may need six-monthly visits.
Can you service a plant you did not install?
Yes. We service all common makes regardless of who installed them, and we can take over the schedule for a plant that has missed a few years, starting with a thorough health check.
My plant has stopped working. Is that a service or a repair?
Call us either way. Blower failures are the most common fault and are usually a quick fix. If something bigger has gone wrong we will diagnose it, quote for the repair, and keep the plant safe in the meantime.
