During a pre-purchase CCTV survey of a residential property in Cobham, Surrey, AFS confirmed that the drainage discharged to a septic tank, with no nearby mains sewer connection available from the information found on site. The survey recorded a non-compliant septic tank, a failed soakaway and foul drainage defects that would need remedial and compliance work, giving the buyer a clear view before purchase.

Common questions about septic tank regulations, compliance checks and sewage treatment upgrades.
The general binding rules set out how septic tanks and small sewage discharges must operate to reduce the risk of pollution.
If your septic tank discharges directly to surface water such as a stream, river or ditch, you may be required to upgrade to a sewage treatment plant.
Compliance depends on factors such as where the system discharges, its condition and how it is maintained.
