Expert Septic Tank Installer You Can Rely On:

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 They also offer an excellent solution when local regulations or outdated sewer systems make connecting to public sewer lines difficult.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.

Why Choose Septic Tanks?

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solution, particularly for properties without access to main drainage systems or when local sewer infrastructure is outdated or impractical.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.

Our Septic Tank Installation Services Include:

  • Full Installation: We take care of everything from start to finish, ensuring that your septic tank is installed correctly, efficiently, and to the highest standards.
  • Excavation and Levelling: We provide expert excavation and levelling services to ensure the proper installation of your septic tank. Our team handles all the groundwork to make sure everything is positioned perfectly.
  • Pipework: Our experienced engineers will install all necessary pipework for your septic system, ensuring seamless connections to your property's plumbing.
  • Collaboration with Architects: We work closely with architects to design the most effective system for your property. We ensure the installation meets all necessary regulations and suits your needs.

      Septic Tank Repairs, Servicing, and Emptying Across London and the South East

      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.

      • Repairs: From cracked lids to faulty inlet pipes or soakaway issues, we quickly diagnose and repair all kinds of septic tank problems.
      • Servicing: Regular maintenance is vital. We offer scheduled inspections, checks for blockages or wear, and preventative care to extend the life of your tank.
      • Septic Tank Emptying (Desludging): Over time, solid waste builds up inside the tank and must be removed. We provide fast and efficient septic tank emptying services using our own fleet of vacuum tankers.

          We make sure your system continues running smoothly, minimising the risk of backups, smells, or costly damage.

          What’s the Difference Between Cesspit Emptying and Septic Tank Emptying?

          Both septic tanks and cesspits are used in properties that don’t have access to main drains — but they work very differently and require different maintenance:

          • Septic Tank Emptying (Desludging): A septic tank separates solid waste, liquid effluent, and floating scum. The liquid flows out into a drainage field for natural filtration. The solids remain and must be emptied typically once a year, depending on usage.
          • Cesspit Emptying: A cesspit (or cesspool) is a sealed tank with no outlet. All waste remains inside and must be emptied regularly, often every few weeks or months. Cesspits require much more frequent emptying than septic tanks.

              The Key Difference:

              • A septic tank treats waste and only needs to remove solids occasionally.
              • A cesspit collects all waste and fills up quickly, so it needs emptying often.

                  We provide both septic tank emptying and cesspit emptying services across London and the South East — quickly, cleanly, and at competitive prices. See our dedicated Cesspit Emptying page here for more details.

                      How Does a Septic Tank Work?

                      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:

                      • Scum Layer: This consists of oils, grease, and lighter solids that float to the top.
                      • Effluent Layer: The middle layer contains liquid wastewater from the tank into a drainage field.
                      • Sludge Layer: Heavier solids sink to the bottom, where bacteria break them down over time.

                      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.
