Sewage Treatment Plant Installation

Home /Services/Sewage treatment

We install safe and efficient sewage treatment solutions

A Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) works similarly to a septic tank but with additional steps to break down material, resulting in a cleaner and more environmentally friendly outcome.

Wastewater and sewage from properties are collected in a chamber where solids settle at the bottom and lighter substances like grease and oil float to the top; these components are removed, and the remaining liquid undergoes secondary treatment.

Installation involves preparing the ground, carrying out inspections, and excavating before placing the plant. Domestic STPs are a safe and reliable solution for homes not connected to mains drainage, promoting bacteria growth to naturally treat sewage without polluting the environment.

West Country Drainage Services can provide advice, guidance, and support for installation or maintenance.

Sewage Treatment Plants Installed

Why do you suffer from one of these issues?

Smells

Bad smells can mean a few different issues from product use to problem with the plant.

High water level

This could indicate a problem with the discharge location or your plant which would require investigations. This could mean your STP is now non functional and options will need to be looked at.

Blockage

Sometimes the pipes to and from the plant can become blocked. Check out our drain unblocking page, . In most circumstances we can jet these lines clear to save on costly repairs.

Why choose a Sewage Treatment Plant or a Septic Tank?

Self-Contained & Low Maintenance

Once installed, septic tanks operate autonomously without needing constant attention. They require periodic pumping (usually annually depending on usage and size) to remove solids, but beyond that, their maintenance demands are minimal compared to more complex systems.

Cost-Effective for Rural Homes

For homes located in rural areas where connection to a centralised sewer system may be cost-prohibitive or unavailable, septic tanks provide a cost-effective solution for wastewater treatment and disposal.

Protects Public Health & Environment

Properly designed and maintained STPs help in reducing the release of pollutants into the environment. By treating the sewage, these plants reduce the risks of waterborne diseases, protect aquatic ecosystems, and ensure that groundwater and surface water sources remain uncontaminated.
