Sewage Treatment Plant Servicing in Craven Arms
Annual servicing, repairs and health checks for all makes of package sewage treatment plant, keeping your discharge compliant and your warranty intact. Serving Craven Arms and the surrounding villages, including Wistanstow, Aston on Clun, Hopesay, Clun.
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.
In SY7 country, off-mains is close to universal outside the town. Hill farms, roadside cottages and village properties all depend on their own tanks, and distances mean many systems see a professional rarely. A good number of older installations here still discharge in ways the 2020 rules no longer permit.
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.

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.
