paulb Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 it needs emptying to start. and probably a new filter field put in. will be loads of folks about who ca do it for you. if like us if you were to put a new system in ours would fail the tests serpa want done.

grahambb Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Thanks for your advice paulb I know nothing about septic tanks so the first part would be get it emptied by Scottish water or ness engineering then a new filter field is the filter field part of the actual concrete tank as there's two chambers one with sludge in then one next to it filled with what looks like small stones I gather thats the filter part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 been told by experts not to put toilet paper down it. a filter field is a pipe work pattern that drains the dirty water into the ground. it blocks up after a while and needs sorting. i would see what quantity of sludge the tanker sucks up. it could just be to many people using it. http://www.wte-ltd.co.uk/care.htmlhttp://www.nesc.wvu.edu/pdf/ww/septic/pl_fall04.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
