DISCHARGE CONSENT

With over 25 years experience DTS specialise in consent to discharge applications and full drainage surveys for both pre and post house sales. We carry out on-site assessment surveys on existing septic tanks and waste water treatment plants. We offer a comprehensive service from survey to supply and installation often covered via insurance. Unlike dealing with the insurer direct and getting a “settlement” we aim to make sure the adequate funds are available for completion.

(TEMP)PERCOLATION TESTS

A Percolation test is simply observing how quickly a known volume of water dissipates into the subsoil of a hole of known surface area. This test is used to determine the water absorption rate of your ground type in preparation for the building of a wastewater drainage field or percolation area. The results of a percolation test, comprising three test hole results, are required to properly design a waste water treatment system and mandatory for submission of a discharge consent application.
