AFS Advice Hub
Drainage, Pump and Wastewater Advice
Practical guides for property owners, facilities managers, rural sites and commercial premises across Hampshire, Surrey and West Sussex.
Expert guidance from working drainage and pump engineers
The AFS blog explains common drainage, pump and wastewater problems in plain language, with advice on when to investigate, when to maintain and when to arrange specialist support.
Use these guides to understand blocked drains, CCTV surveys, pump station servicing, sewage treatment plants, septic tank compliance, tanker services and planned maintenance. Many problems are linked: a recurring blockage may need a CCTV drain survey, a treatment plant alarm may be caused by a blower or pump fault, and a slow-draining site may need both drainage and tanker support.
