Specialist Drainage Services for Solicitors: Keeping Property Transactions Moving

In today’s property market, solicitors face increasing pressure to manage compliance risks — and drainage systems are now a frequent cause of delay or deal-breakers. At Drain and Tank Solutions SW, we work directly with conveyancing solicitors to offer fast, compliant, and professionally documented drainage solutions that help keep transactions on track.

⚖️ Why Solicitors Need Drainage Support

Many properties in rural or semi-rural areas rely on septic tanks, soakaways, or private drainage systems. Since regulatory changes came into force in 2020, these systems now require careful scrutiny during conveyancing.

🔍 “A non-compliant drainage system can derail a sale and create future liability for buyers and sellers.”

Solicitors are increasingly expected to flag any risks related to:

  • Septic tank compliance

  • Discharge permits

  • System maintenance and functionality

  • Environmental Agency (EA) standards

  • BS EN12566 installation guidelines

  • Drainage compliance inspections

  • Written reports suitable for legal packs
