On-Site Sewage Treatment Systems Survey

Buying a house with a septic tank or wastewater treatment system? Did you know that of all septic tanks inspected by local authorities and the EPA, over half have failed?  The homeowner has ultimate responsibility in ensuring that the system does not constitute, and is not likely to constitute, a risk to human health or the environment under the Water Services Act 2012.

It is therefore vital to know the state of a site’s wastewater treatment system when purchasing a property, in order to avoid acquiring a financial liability that is significant risk to environmental and human health.

bioCycle™ can carry out an independent survey of a septic tank or wastewater treatment system to determine its current condition.

The survey involves:

• Desk Study – Review previous planning conditions, installation documents & maintenance history.
• Site Survey – Carry out inspection of the onsite septic tank or wastewater treatment system.
• Recommendations – List of recommendations detailing actions required to ensure the system is fit for purpose & complies with current regulations.
