Off-mains drainage around Stowmarket
High Suffolk clay drains slowly. That is why so many older septic tanks round here were piped straight to a ditch, and it is also why a percolation test matters before anyone promises you a drainage field.
Ground conditions decide a lot. Around Stowmarket it is heavy boulder clay typical of High Suffolk. That shapes whether a drainage field can work or whether a treatment plant discharging to a ditch is the better route.
Many properties here sit near the Gipping and the Rattlesden river and the ditches that feed it. A septic tank that discharges to any of them does not meet the general binding rules and needs putting right.
