Which Septic Tank Is Best For Clay Soil? Discover the Perfect Solution
Choosing the right septic system for clay soil can be a real headache. Standard soakaway systems struggle in heavy clay, leading to drainage problems and costly repairs. But don’t worry – we’ve got the perfect answer for your off-mains sewage needs.
Introducing Our Clay-Busting Septic Tank Soakaway Kits
Our septic tank soakaway kits are specifically designed to thrive in tough clay soil conditions. Featuring a shallow-dig, low-profile septic tank, drainage field crates, inspection chamber, and easy-connect pipes, they offer:
- UK Building Control and Environment Agency Approval: Peace of mind that your system complies with regulations and can pass planning permission
- DIY-Friendly Installation: Save thousands on labor costs – your builder, groundworker, or even you can handle it
- Zero Concrete, Zero Electricity: Simplicity at its finest – just dig, insert, connect, and backfill
- Compact Drainage Field: Drainage field crates outperform traditional herringbone layouts with a super-small footprint
How Does It Work on Clay?
The genius lies in the shallow design. By keeping the soakaway components close to the surface, they benefit from better-draining topsoil and avoid the dense, waterlogged clay deeper down. The drainage crates, just 1.5 feet underground, ensure optimal wastewater dispersal.
