Sewage Treatment Plant Inspections
Sewage Treatment Plant Inspections
Old or New we can complete a inspection of your sewage treatment plant to confirm the manufacturer, size and more importantly if the system is operating correctly.
From identifying all these key points ADP can then supply you with a quotation to maintain your sewage treatment plant. If unfortunately the system is not operating or the system is not sized correctly then ADP will provide you with a detailed quotation of any works required.
Free Site inspections to inspect your sewage treatment plant available across the North West, North East and South East.

Common problems causing your Sewage Treatment Plant to fail: –
Contract Customers
Tank Installations
- Collapsed baffle
This is part of the system designed to separate the solids and liquids during the treatment process.
- Damage to the dip pipes or tee pieces
Also designed to prevent the transfer of Fats/Oils/greases between treatment zones or more importantly the plant discharge.
- Hydrostatic Pressure
External water pressure/ground water can cause the plant to fracture or move within the ground. Also, inlet and outlet pipes can crack or become displaced. In extreme circumstances the plant can even pop out of the ground.
- Ground Movement or landslip
Ground settlement is common over the years and can cause displacement of pipework or accidental damage to baffles. If the plant isn’t level the treatment process could be compromised.
- Root Damage
Tree Roots and roots from bushes can find their way around the tank and into the joints. This causes sewage treatment plants to split or create irreparable GRP damage. The result can be the untreated effluent leaving the plant and contaminating the surround.
- Vehicle Damage
Common in agricultural areas where heavy vehicles can pass over land where there is a drainage field collapsing pipes and preventing tanks from discharging. Also plants that have been installed in vehicle areas can be subject to ground movement or load shock from above. This can result in cracks and displaced joints.
- Incorrect Installation
Unfortunately there is no governing body that ensures sewage treatment plants are installed correctly. This sometimes leads to plants having the incorrect backfill media or none at all. Also, in some cases, the plant will move and pop out of the ground as a result.
- Lack of maintenance
It’s important to ensure correct operation and stop small minor failures becoming large expensive ones. This is whether you have a sewage treatment plant or pump chamber Regular annual maintenance is essential.
- A change in ground conditions
Throughout the years the natural water table moves up and down depending on area and amount of rainfall. A tank installed 10 years ago in perfectly dry conditions may have only required a pea gravel backfill or similar material. Fast forward 10 years and the water table has risen significantly. This creates a wet site and your plant could well be surrounded by water. It may therefore become displaced or pop from the ground. This is because there is nothing substantial holding it in.
CCTV Surveys
If you’re unsure whether your sewage treatment plant meets the new general binding rules give ADP Environmental Services a call and we can offer a free site inspection.
Once we know the type and condition of your system, we offer a quote for any recommendations. This may also include repairs or a replacement sewage treatment plant and soak away/drainage field.
