Recent Septic Tank Survey Projects

Our septic tank survey projects show how drainage inspections can help property owners, buyers and landowners understand the condition and layout of private drainage systems.

We carry out septic tank and private drainage surveys across Cheshire and the wider North West, supporting customers who need clear information about septic tanks, treatment plants, soakaways and associated pipework. These surveys are particularly useful when buying or selling rural properties, investigating drainage problems, or checking whether an existing system appears suitable and functional.

The examples on this page demonstrate the types of findings that can come from a septic tank survey, including damaged or blocked pipework, signs of poor discharge, root ingress, structural defects, access issues and uncertainty around drainage routes. Where possible, our surveys help clarify how the system is connected and highlight areas that may need further investigation or remedial work.

If you own, manage or are purchasing a property with a septic tank or private drainage system, browse the examples below to see how our surveys work, or contact us to discuss the most suitable inspection for your site.
