Do it once, do it right.
Whether you’re improving, installing, repairing, or moving your septic tank, it must be functional and compliant to avoid disaster. We’ll manage your septic system project through planning, regulations and installation, so you don’t have to.
If your French home is within a cluster of buildings, septic tanks are pleasantly out of sight, out of mind. However, if your property is too isolated to connect to a communal system, that nasty business is up to you. Naturally, the French government is strict with septic systems for your health and safety, so these are closely monitored and held to a high standard. The process is straightforward but very strict, and a real nightmare if not done properly.

What you need to know
Septic tanks are a nasty business, especially in a foreign country and culture. While working together, we’ll guide you through:
Considerations
Any future plans for the property’s interior and exterior
Where to place your septic tank system in compliance with building regulations
What size and material your septic system should be depending on its usage
Regulations
Whatever you’re in the market for, septic tank systems are heavily regulated and monitored from beginning to end, with official representatives inspecting work at key milestones. If you don’t speak the language, this is particularly intimidating. Our bilingual team will manage the paperwork and legislation on your behalf to ensure your project is compliant.
Maintenance
Just like its installation, the maintenance of your septic system is heavily regulated. At the end of the project we’ll point you in the right direction for the emptying, cleaning and maintenance of your septic system.
