At Jet and Drain, we specialise in the professional installation of septic tanks, offering reliable and efficient solutions for homes and properties without access to main sewer lines. Septic tanks are a crucial part of waste management systems where traditional sewer lines are unavailable or impractical. Properties may choose septic tanks for various reasons, including environmental benefits, cost savings, and their suitability for larger or remote properties. They also offer an excellent solution when local regulations or outdated sewer systems make connecting to public sewer lines difficult. These systems treat wastewater from your kitchen, bathrooms, and other plumbing systems, providing an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution.
Septic tanks combine advanced technology with natural processes to provide an effective waste management solution, particularly for properties without access to main drainage systems or when local sewer infrastructure is outdated or impractical. They filter waste, removing harmful pathogens and pollutants, leaving behind cleaner water. This ensures safe waste disposal while protecting the environment, making septic tanks a valuable and sustainable addition to any property.
At Jet and Drain, we don’t just install septic tanks — we also offer complete servicing, repair, and emptying solutions. Our skilled drainage engineers are available 24/7, covering all of London and the South East with no call-out charges.
We make sure your system continues running smoothly, minimising the risk of backups, smells, or costly damage.

A septic tank is an underground wastewater treatment system used in properties without access to main sewer lines. It operates by collecting wastewater from your household drains and allowing it to separate into three layers:
The treated effluent exits the tank and disperses into a drainage field, further filtered by the soil, ensuring safe disposal and minimal environmental impact.
See the diagram for a visual representation of how a septic tank works.
This diagram helps explain the natural treatment process that happens underground.

Yes. Jet & Drain specialises in septic tank installations for properties with restricted or limited access. Our experienced engineers use specialist excavation equipment and careful planning to safely install systems even in challenging locations.
Most septic tank installations take between 1–3 days, depending on ground conditions, property access, excavation requirements, and system size. We provide a clear installation timeline during your free quotation.
In many cases, planning permission is not required, but installations must comply with UK environmental regulations and Building Regulations. Jet & Drain ensures every installation meets current compliance standards and environmental guidelines.
Typically, a septic tank should be emptied once every 12 months, although this depends on household size and usage. Regular emptying prevents blockages, smells, and system failure.
A septic tank treats wastewater and allows liquid to flow into a drainage field, meaning it only requires occasional emptying.
A cesspit is a sealed holding tank with no outlet, so all waste must be removed frequently — often every few weeks or months.
See our dedicated Cesspit Emptying page here for more details.
