Sewage Treatment Plant Servicing in Wem
Annual servicing, repairs and health checks for all makes of package sewage treatment plant, keeping your discharge compliant and your warranty intact. Serving Wem and the surrounding villages, including Clive, Loppington, Edstaston, Aston.
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 around Wem grew up along lanes rather than sewers, and most outlying properties run on private drainage. Older cottages often have tanks of considerable age and uncertain history, and nearby Wem Moss, like the other mosses, marks ground where drainage has always needed care.
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 Wem
The River Roden runs through the town and takes the district’s drainage, fed by a lattice of field ditches. Many rural tanks sit within easy reach of a ditch, so the General Binding Rules and their ban on septic discharge to watercourses are directly relevant across this area.

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.
