25 Year Long Customers

23 November, 2020

Some time ago, Jason went to see some customers of ours who have been customers for 25 years! We really wanted to show our appreciation, so we got them a cake, cookies, or biscuits as you can see in the photos below.

Mr & Mrs Browne (Her son is showing in the photo):

“Anytime we had a concern, Allerton were always there to listen to and reassure us. Over the past 25 years they have always done a professional job. We highly recommend them.”

FAQ

Q: What is the alternative to a septic tank?

A: A sewage treatment plant, a cesspool, or a reed bed. If there is no room for a soakaway then a cesspool is used. These are huge tanks and expensive to install and expensive to have emptied.

Q: What is a ConSept?

A: A conversion of a septic tank, a cesspool, a well, or some other underground tank to a sewage treatment plant. More information can be found on our septic tank conversion page.

Q: Are there septic tanks that don’t need emptying?

A. No. All septic tanks should be emptied to protect the soakaway!

Read the section about septic tank emptying on our Septic Tank and Soakaway Problems page for more information.

Q: How much does a septic tank cost to replace?

A: A septic tank costs about £2500 to replace but it is likely that it is the soakaway is what needs replacing. This can cost £2000. Contact Us.

Q: What happens if you never pump your septic tank?

A: You ruin the soakaway.

Q: Is a plastic septic tank better than concrete?

A: Just as good but often easier to install. A lot depends on ground conditions.

Q: How do I clean my septic tank naturally?

A: It should emptied regularly by a registered waste contractor. The mess inside the walls of the septic tank is actually full of bacteria and should be left alone. Do not hose it down!

Q: How often does a 1000 gallon septic tank need to be pumped?

A: Every year as a rule. Perhaps every two years if only two or three people are using it.

Q: Should I buy a house with a septic tank?

A: Yes if the house is right in other regards. But, have it surveyed first. That is most essential.

Q: Does all waste water go to a septic tank?

A: All waste water does not have to go to a septic tank. It could go to a cesspool, a sewage treatment plant, like the Diamond Range, or a septic tank… or better still to the mains. 95% of sewage in the UK goes to the mains.
