Why Consider a New Septic System for Your East Devon Property?

Many properties across our service area – from Sidmouth to Topsham, and out to villages like Woodbury or Newton Poppleford – rely on private drainage systems. Over time, or due to new build requirements, you might need a new septic tank or a complete wastewater treatment plant. Common reasons include: your current system is old and failing, causing issues like soggy ground or unpleasant smells; you’re building a new property without access to mains drainage; or you need to comply with the latest Environment Agency General Binding Rules, which often require upgrades from older septic tanks to modern sewage treatment plants. We can help with everything from initial soakaway percolation tests to determine the best solution, right through to the final installation of foul and surface water drainage systems.

"Had a complete nightmare with a blocked toilet on a Sunday morning. Called Drain 2 Flow and their engineer was out to us in Exmouth incredibly quickly. Professional, explained the problem clearly, and had it sorted with no fuss. Can't recommend them enough."

Sarah P, Exmouth

"Needed a pre-purchase drain survey for a house we're buying in Budleigh Salterton. The service was fantastic. The report was thorough, easy to understand, and it was great dealing with a genuine local expert rather than a national call centre. Gave us real peace of mind."

Mark T, Budleigh Salterton

"I was worried we'd have to dig up our entire patio to fix a recurring drain issue. Drain 2 Flow suggested a 'no-dig' patch repair. They did a first-class job, were very tidy, and the price was exactly what they quoted. Honest, reliable service."

FAQ

Your Septic Tank Questions Answered

Thinking about a new septic tank or wastewater treatment plant? Here are answers to common questions we receive from customers in Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, and across East Devon.

Do I Need to Upgrade My Septic Tank to Comply with the General Binding Rules?

+

If your property discharges wastewater directly into a watercourse, a ditch, or a stream, you must upgrade your current system. The Environment Agency changed the rules recently to protect local waterways from pollution. You either need to connect to a mains sewer or book a wastewater treatment plant installation. If your current system discharges safely into a drainage field and works fine without causing pollution, you might not need an immediate upgrade. Because we handle off mains drainage across Devon every day, we can pop out to check your setup and let you know exactly where you stand with the current laws.

What is a Percolation Test and Why Does My Exeter Property Need One?

+

Before we carry out a new soakaway installation at your home, we must check how well your soil drains. A percolation test measures the time it takes for water to drop away into the ground. Ground conditions vary wildly between Clyst Heath, central Exeter, and the surrounding rural villages. If the ground contains heavy clay or the water table sits too high, a standard soakaway simply will not work. By carrying out this crucial test first, we protect you from failed drainage installations and flooded gardens later on.

Should I Choose a Septic Tank or a Wastewater Treatment Plant for Off-Mains Drainage?

+

A traditional septic tank separates solid waste from liquid, allowing the liquid to drain into a specially designed soakaway. However, it does not actually treat the water. A wastewater treatment plant uses electrical or mechanical parts to actively clean the effluent before it leaves the system. This means the water reaching the environment is significantly cleaner. For most new off mains drainage setups in Clyst Heath and the wider Devon area, a treatment plant makes the most sense. They easily meet modern environmental standards and open up more options for where you can safely discharge the water.

How Long Does a Typical Wastewater Treatment Plant Installation Take in Devon?

+

Every site brings its own quirks, but a standard septic tank installation or treatment plant fitment usually takes between three to five days. We handle the whole job from digging the initial hole to laying the pipework and sorting the final connections. Because I operate as an independent sole trader, you get direct accountability from start to finish. I never juggle dozens of jobs at once. Once we start your project in Clyst Heath or nearby, we stay on site until your new system runs perfectly.
