At Drainage Facilities Management Ltd, every member of our team is fully trained to deliver reliable services tailored to your system.

Providing specialist tanker services and equipped with innovative tools, we offer complete drainage services for all kinds of domestic and commercial systems in Hitchin, Cambridge and the surrounding areas we cover. This includes septic tanks, cesspits and pipework.
When choosing DFM, our customers have complete peace of mind that they are receiving the highest standards of workmanship – Just read our testimonials! Every job undergoes a thorough risk assessment prior to beginning work. With training in high-risk confined space entry, and by using proper equipment and protective gear, our drainage company maintains unbeatable levels of health and safety.
The key points of our inspections include:
Making sure septic tanks, cesspits and soakaways in Hitchin meet Environment Agency regulations and comply with their binding rules
Ensuring tanks are big enough to meet the requirements of each property, preventing issues such as blocked drains and blocked toilets. For example, large families will need a bigger septic tank than households with only one or two members
Our tanker services include cesspit and septic tank emptying using specialist vacuuming equipment. We then carry out tank and cesspit cleaning.
Once tanks are empty, we can check that drains aren’t leaking groundwater into the system. This requires briefly shutting off the water inside the property. We can also carry out CCTV drain surveys to assess the condition of associated pipework. Our engineers also check the overall condition of drainage installations in Hitchin, including tanks, risers, covers and pipework. We then advise on any necessary repairs.
It is especially important to inspect covers because the gases in your septic tank contain Hydrogen Sulphide. When this makes contact with the air, it turns into Sulphuric Acid which, over time, corrodes metal and concrete, making covers unsafe.
As a customer-focused drainage company, DFM understands the importance of minimising disruption. With 80+ years of combined experience, we determine and resolve any issues as quickly as possible. As well as providing solutions for septic tanks, cesspits and pipework, we also offer effective culvert cleaning for clients in Hitchin and the surrounding areas.
The best way to avoid the need for repairs is to arrange periodic cleaning and maintenance. Our engineers are more than happy to discuss the best options for individual requirements and can set up an effective maintenance plan for your system.
We offer ad-hoc, ongoing and emergency solutions for septic tank emptying, cesspit cleaning, tanker services and all other requirements.
