Septic Tanks
Effective and self-contained
Septic tanks are an exceptionally cost-effective and low-maintenance solution for domestic wastewater treatment, particularly suited to areas with the right soil and underground conditions. With Delaney Concrete, you benefit from a system that is both economical and efficient. By designing your site layout to enable gravity flow to and from the tank, you can significantly reduce the need for more costly infrastructure, like connecting to main sewer lines, installing pumps, or building additional treatment plants.
How much a Septic Tank Costs
Priced at €792.95 +VAT our standard Delaney Concrete Septic Tank caters comfortably to the needs of up to 8 people, making it an ideal choice for most family homes. For larger properties or commercial applications, we also manufacture substantially larger tanks to accommodate higher capacity requirements. In cases of very large systems, treatment plants may be necessary to ensure efficient processing of wastewater.
How A Septic Tank Works
Septic tanks facilitate the natural process of wastewater treatment. They separate solid waste from liquids, allowing bacteria and other microorganisms to break down and decompose the organic matter. Septic tanks are divided internally into two chambers the dividing wall etains the solid portion of your wastewater inside the tank, and the liquid portion of the wastewater passes through to the second chamber where smaller solids will settle out.
Finally the liquid portion of your wastewater will leave the septic tank and pass through your percolation area where it will receive further treatment in the soil and soak into the ground.
The solid portion of the wastewater is retained in the tank. Some of these solids will sink to the bottom of the tank to form a sludge layer, and some of these solids will float to the top of the tank and form a crust. A crust layer is a sign of a healthy tank and is important to keep smells inside the tank.
If you have limited on room for your percolation area, or require a treatment plant in your planning you may need to purchase a Bio-Crete.
Bio-Crete wastewater treatment system is the product of choice for thousands of homeowners, architects, soil testers, builders and installers. It is a concrete tank that is installed simply and quickly. It is a reliable and environmentally sustainable way to protect your local ground water. The Bio-Crete wastewater treatment system has been tested and certified by PIA in Aachen, Germany to EN 12566.
Upgrading your septic tank
There are many reasons to upgrade your existing septic tank for example it may be allowing the flow of effluent into your ground water. County councils are increasingly stepping up their activity in inspections of septic tanks. They often find below standard water quality in streams and trace upstream to any potential source. They may also get called out to inspect one house in an area and inspect every house on that road.
As always, we will offer advice on upgrading and grants.
