What to do if you have a broken septic tank inspection chamber

Once a septic tank has been installed underground, usually the only visible evidence on the surface that one exists is due to the septic tank inspection chamber. This looks like a manhole, and underneath this is the crucial piece of kit which allows us access to check on the health of your tank. It’s what we use when assessing your tank and deciding if any action needs to be taken to improve its effectiveness. It can show us if there is a blockage, or if the waste water is flowing freely. But what happens if your inspection chamber is damaged? 

Broken inspection chambers

It’s rare that an inspection chamber will break, as they are built from sturdy materials. However, accidents happen and if you suspect something has broken, it’s best to call us straight away. A broken chamber can lead to blockages, leaks, and even system failure if not handled correctly and promptly. 

The first person to call is Septic Tank Services. We help customers all over Scotland and the north of England and can bring our expertise wherever it’s needed. We will quickly assess the damage and provide appropriate solutions. If we can repair the damage, that’s what we’ll do. 

However, if the damage is more serious – perhaps through some unexpected land movement – then it may require a bigger job. Fortunately we have all the digging equipment needed to excavate and replace any problem inspection chamber. We will give you a quote for the job before continuing with any work.
