Treatment Plant Servicing & Repairs in Edenbridge

Usually, yes, provided it meets the General Binding Rules and the ditch flows for most of the year. On the clay around Edenbridge that’s often a better option than a drainage field. A ditch that runs dry in summer is treated differently, so check before you rely on it.

Often, yes. Our engineers carry the most common parts, such as blowers and pumps, so many repairs are done there and then. For less common parts we’ll order them and come back.

On most plants, yes. The blower keeps air flowing to the bacteria that treat the waste. If it stops for long, the plant stops treating properly and can start to smell.

Around Cowden and the higher ground to the south, the land is hillier than the clay near the town, and the countryside is part of the High Weald National Landscape. The plant itself is serviced the same way, but planning for a new system or drainage field there can take longer.

Most domestic plants should be serviced at least once a year, and some makers recommend every six months. Your plant’s manual will say, or we can tell you when we see it.

A service checks the mechanical and electrical parts: blower, pumps, floats, alarm and panel. Emptying, or desludging, removes the sludge that builds up. Most plants need both, and we can do them on the same visit.
