01382 721232Is a New Sewer Connection Required for Your Property? Common Scenarios
Many situations necessitate a new sewer connection. This service is crucial for:
- New Build Developments: Every new property needs a direct and compliant drainage connection to the public sewer network.
- Property Extensions: Sometimes, extending a property requires adjustments or new connections to handle increased drainage capacity or to link new facilities.
- Transitioning from Septic Tanks: For existing properties, switching from an old septic tank system to the main sewer offers increased reliability, reduces maintenance, and ensures full compliance with modern environmental regulations.
- Redevelopments: Large-scale site redevelopments often require completely new drainage infrastructure and connections.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Sewer Connections Questions
Answers to common questions about our Sewer Connections
When is a New Sewer Connection Required?
There are several common reasons why you might need to arrange a new connection to the main sewer system. We regularly help homeowners and developers across Dundee, Angus, Perth, and Fife with:
- New Build Properties: Every new home or commercial building needs a direct connection for its foul water and drainage.
- Septic Tank Replacement: If your existing septic tank or cesspit is failing, non-compliant with new regulations, or you simply want the convenience of mains drainage, we can establish a new connection.
- Property Development: Building an extension or a separate dwelling on your site often requires a new or modified sewer connection to handle the increased load.
- Resolving Existing Drain Issues: Sometimes an old, private drain that is shared with neighbours or is in a state of disrepair needs to be replaced with a direct connection to the public main for each property.
Do I need approval to connect to a public sewer?
Yes, absolutely. You must have formal approval from the local water authority (Scottish Water) before any work begins. It is an offence to make an unauthorised connection to a public sewer. We manage this application process for you.
How do I apply for a new sewer connection?
The application process involves submitting detailed plans of your site, the proposed drainage layout, and technical information about your property. GO-FLOW DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS LTD can handle the entire application on your behalf, ensuring all the correct information is provided for a smooth approval process.
What is involved in the physical connection work on my property?
The work typically involves excavating a trench from your property to the location of the main sewer. A new drain pipe is then laid in this trench at the correct gradient and connected to your property's drainage system. The final, critical part is making the connection to the main public sewer itself, after which the trench is backfilled and the ground surface is put back to its original state.
I have a septic tank. Can I connect its drainage to the main sewer?
Yes. This is a very common project we undertake. We can decommission your old septic tank and lay a new drain to connect your property directly to the main sewer. This eliminates the need for future septic tank emptying and maintenance.
How far can my property be from the public sewer to make a connection?
The viability of a connection depends on the distance and the ground levels between your property and the main sewer. A drain must flow downhill. If your property is a long way from the sewer or sits lower than it, a straightforward gravity connection might not be possible, and a pumping station may be required. We can assess this for you during a site survey.
