Bad installation -

The owner of Brook Cottage called requesting we attend the property and reinstate the Klargester Biotec sewage package treatment plant. The sewage package treatment plant came out of the ground following the combination of heavy rainfall and a desludge taking place, leaving the property without any foul waste water treatment.

The cause was due to the tank being installed within an embankment, approximately 2 meters from a water course ( non compliant with current building & environment agency legislation ), not surrounded with concrete or gravel ONLY soil backfill.

The sewage was NOT damaged, repositioned in accordance with current building regulations, surround with C25 semi dry concrete, final 300 back filled with as dug spoil and area re turfed

Site left clean / tidy and fully operational - 🤗🤗🤗
