SPANC Inspections of Septic Tanks in France

As mentioned below – SPANC if not already, will be visiting your property in France if it is not connected to mains drainage.

The object of this exercise is to asscertain if your septic tank in France appears to be correctly installed and working. Note the use of the word appears!!!! There is no physical test, or calculation of number of rooms/size of septic tank normally undertaken in this inspection. It is simply a visual inspection to see if the there is a septic tank and filter system and if it appears to be working OK….. again the use of the word appears

There are people cheating the SPANC inspectors and yes they are buying some time, however there will be regular annual inspections of all septic tanks in France coming up by 2012.

Anyone that has not yet recieved the results of their test shouldn’t worry about it just yet – SPANC are testing something like 5million installation so don’t expect them to get back to you straight away with a fail or pass letter.
