What is a Sewage Treatment Plant?
For a lot of properties, there exists no connection to a public sewer; so, how do you get rid of waste? There are three common solutions – a cesspit, septic tank, or sewage treatment plant. At The Drain Team, we deal with all three. A sewage treatment plant can solve many drainage disposal problems when you are unable to connect to the main sewer.
We can assess your individual site and advise if a septic tank or a sewage treatment plant would be suitable. There are often several factors to consider, and from our wealth of experience, we normally find that different schemes can be considered. A sewage treatment plant is an effective, highly efficient option whenever a mains connection is not available.
And with more and more attention being shifted towards protecting our environment, many are opting for sewage treatment plants instead of septic tanks. The reason is that they offer a far more efficient, eco-friendly means of disposing of unwanted effluent. Treatment plants use the action of natural aerobic bacteria to clean sewage effluent to a level much higher than that obtained through septic tanks.
This reduces the possibility of damage to the soakaway. Plus, treatment systems are particularly useful where the soil has low porosity.

Of course, if something goes wrong with your sewage treatment plant, you could quickly find yourself dealing with a rather messy, smelly problem. Common signs of issues include foul odours and boggy, waterlogged ground, usually located around the soakaway area. Issues can arise for a number of reasons, such as:
- Poor Maintenance
- Overloading
- Failed Sewage Pump/Blower
- Malfunctioning Pump/Blower
- Damage
Whatever the nature of the problem, you can be assured that The Drain Team will get it diagnosed and fixed as quickly as possible. We won’t waste time getting to the root of the problem, ensuring a timely completion of all repair work with minimal disruption caused to you. And if you require a brand-new treatment plant, we’ll be happy to advise you on the size your property will require. Our advice is always FREE!
When considering a new system, it should be noted that any discharge, from either a septic tank or treatment system, is subject to a discharge consent approval from the Environment Agency. You can download guidance notes and an application form for consent to discharge from the EA website.
