Septic tank and cesspool services in High Halden
High Halden sits on the A28 between us and Tenterden, and like most of the villages along that road the houses on the through route tell you very little about the parish. The properties down the lanes either side are on their own tanks, and a good number of those tanks are old.
It is close to our base near Ashford, which makes both scheduled rounds and same day callouts straightforward.
Working in High Halden
- Close to base, so response times here are among the quickest we offer.
- Weald clay, so servicing a drainage field before it fails is worth far more than emptying after it has.
- A lot of properties here have never had the system inspected, only emptied.
Clay, old tanks and the A28 villages
High Halden's church is known for its medieval timber bell tower and porch, built of oak, and the parish around it is still mostly farmland and woodland. The houses on the A28 are only the visible part. The parish runs a long way down lanes either side, and those properties manage their own waste water.
Weald clay underlies the parish, and many of the systems here are old, built before the current British Standard for drainage fields. An old field on clay may still be working, but with little margin, so a wet winter or a missed empty is often what finally tips it over. Having the field walked and the tank's dip pipes checked at a septic tank service tells you how much life it has left, and signs your septic tank needs servicing lists what to watch for between visits.
Where a field has failed, the choice on this ground usually comes down to a treatment plant, if there is a ditch or stream that flows all year to take its outlet, or a sealed cesspool if there is not. Do I need a sewage treatment plant walks through that decision.
