The starting point
The existing brick-built septic tank dated from around 1910 and was receiving both sewage and rainwater from the property.
The solution
A BIOROCK Monoblock 3-1000 was installed for sewage treatment, while rainwater was redirected to new soakaways.
The work
The site was excavated, a concrete pad was laid and the main sewage feed was connected using modern plastic pipework and new inspection chambers.
The result
The sewage and rainwater routes were separated before the installation was backfilled with clean aggregate and finished with topsoil.
