Septic tank

Post by Sus »

I was wondering whether anybody can recommend a company to replace a septic tank?
Thanks!

Septic tanks are controlled by an organisation called the Spanc. They are supposed to inspect them every 5 years and if your tank fails their inspection, and loads do, then they can require you to replace it.

There are lots of companies that will install a tank but that doesn't mean that what they install will comply with the regulations.

The Spanc lays out a procedure for a survey and pre-approval of an installion and personally I would choose to follow their procedure.

They have approved contractors but you are not obliged to use them.

I used an approved contractor and they liaised with the Spanc and got me a 3000€ subsidy

Thanks for the replies, very helpful. Had not realised that SPANC has a procedure to follow, thanks for that info.
