We recently completed the installation of a Klargester sewage treatment plant in Farnham, providing a reliable and fully compliant off-mains drainage solution for a residential property.
Projects like this highlight our expertise in sewage treatment plants and full installation services across Surrey and the wider South of the UK.
Project Overview
The property required an efficient off-mains drainage system due to the lack of access to the main sewer network. Following a detailed site assessment, we recommended the installation of a Klargester sewage treatment plant, known for its reliability, efficiency and compliance with Environment Agency regulations.
The system was carefully selected to meet the property’s wastewater demands while ensuring long-term performance and environmental compliance.
Our Installation Process
Our experienced team managed the full treatment plant installation in Farnham from start to finish, ensuring minimal disruption to the property and surrounding area.
All works were carried out in line with current UK drainage regulations and best practices.
- Full site survey and drainage design
- Excavation and groundwork preparation
- Installation of the Klargester treatment system
- Connection to existing drainage pipework
- Installation of compliant discharge pipework
- Backfilling and full site reinstatement
Challenges and Solutions
Ground conditions on site required careful excavation and support to ensure a safe and stable installation. Our team applied proven groundworks and drainage installation techniques to maintain both efficiency and safety throughout the project.
We also ensured that the system fully complied with Environment Agency sewage discharge regulations, giving the client complete peace of mind that the installation met all legal and environmental requirements.
The Final Result
The completed installation delivers a high-performance domestic sewage treatment system that is both efficient and environmentally friendly.
The Klargester system treats wastewater to a high standard, enabling safe discharge into the environment while maintaining consistent, reliable operation.
This project reinforces our reputation for delivering dependable sewage treatment solutions across Farnham and Surrey.

How AFS would investigate this on site
For off-mains drainage issues, we would normally start by checking the tank or treatment plant, inlet and outlet pipework, alarms, pumps, blowers, sludge levels, drainage field condition and any signs of surcharge or pollution.
If the issue looks compliance-related, we would also consider whether the existing arrangement needs septic tank conversion, a new sewage treatment plant installation, or planned treatment plant maintenance rather than another temporary repair.
When this becomes urgent
You should treat the problem as urgent if sewage is backing up into the property, wastewater is escaping outside, alarms are sounding repeatedly, electrical equipment is wet, or the system is close to overflowing.
In those situations, stop unnecessary water use, keep people away from contaminated areas and arrange professional attendance. Where the system needs emptying before repair, sewage tanker services may be required to control the level safely.
