“Saved our house sale – literally!”
We were two weeks away from exchanging contracts when the buyer’s solicitor flagged our old septic tank as non-compliant. We were panicked, but Drain and Tank Solutions came out the next day, assessed the system, and replaced it with a compliant one within a week. They dealt directly with our estate agent and provided all the paperwork we needed. Without them, the sale would’ve fallen through.

“Fast, professional, and got the job done right”
I was trying to sell a rural property and didn’t realise the waste system no longer met regulations. Every buyer walked away. Sam and the team diagnosed the issue quickly, explained everything clearly, and had a new sewage treatment plant installed within 10 days. The next buyer had no problem getting a mortgage. Wish I’d called them sooner.
– Darren M., Saltash
“Worked with our solicitor to keep the sale on track”
Drain and Tank Solutions were brilliant from start to finish. They provided a full report on our non-compliant system, recommended the best fix, and even spoke directly to our solicitor to confirm timelines and compliance. It gave our buyer peace of mind, and the sale went through without a hitch. Can’t thank them enough!
