Sewage Treatment Plant Servicing in Market Drayton
Annual servicing, repairs and health checks for all makes of package sewage treatment plant, keeping your discharge compliant and your warranty intact. Serving Market Drayton and the surrounding villages, including Hodnet, Cheswardine, Hinstock, Norton in Hales.
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.
Dairy country means dispersed farmsteads and small villages, many never connected to a public sewer. Around Market Drayton it is entirely normal for a property to run on a decades-old septic tank, and the area has its share of cesspits too, installed where ground or watercourses ruled anything else out.
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 Market Drayton
The Tern and its feeder brooks drain the whole district, and field ditches run along most boundaries. With dairy farming in the catchment, the Environment Agency takes water quality here seriously, and a leaking tank or a non-compliant discharge is not something to sit on.

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.
