An on-site suitability assessment is carried out to determine the suitability of a site for a standalone on-site sewage system.

The EPA introduced a new Code of Practice in October 2009 for all on-site sewage systems including septic tanks. The purpose of which is primarily to introduce best practice for both the design and ongoing use of on-site sewage systems on a site specific basis.

When installing a new septic tank or treatment system or when upgrading an old system, a site assessment is required. A site assessment / percolation test is a fundamental part of any correctly sited septic tank / sewage treatment plant. Failure to do a site assessment / percolation test often results in poorly designed on-site sewage systems which results in many problems including pollution of ground water and water courses as well as drinking water in nearby wells.

All of our site assessments are carried out in accordance with the latest Environment Protection Agency (EPA) standards by fully qualified personnel (holding FETAC/EPA certification as desired by local authorities).
