Main Drain Connection: Expert Guidance from ASL Limited

Reliable solutions for main sewer connections

A main sewer connection is a convenient, cost-effective solution for sewage disposal. It allows properties to connect directly to the public sewer system, provided a viable main sewer is located nearby. Whether you're switching from a private system or need a connection for a new build property, ASL Limited is here to make the process seamless and stress-free.

Why choose a main sewer connection?

Connecting to the main sewer provides a reliable method of waste management. This option is suitable for:

• Transitioning from a private sewage system to the main sewer.
• New build properties requiring public sewer connections.

At ASL Limited, we assist with every step of the process, including design, planning, obtaining the necessary licences, and applying for consent from your local water authority.

Our process for connecting to the main sewer

1. Feasibility assessment
   We start by obtaining plans from your local water authority to confirm the availability of a nearby main sewer. A site visit and level survey may also be conducted to determine the feasibility of the connection.

2. Installation planning
   If the gradient from your property to the main sewer is sufficient, we propose the following steps:

   • Excavation within your property boundary to construct a demarcation inspection chamber (manhole).
   • Further excavation to the public highway, where the main sewer is located.
   • Laying new pipework and connecting to the main sewer with a new branch, spur, or chamber.
   • Testing and inspection of the new system by the local water authority.
      

3. Alternative solutions
   If there’s insufficient gradient for free-flowing waste, we can install a pump system to direct the effluent to the main sewer.

Licences and permissions – We’ve got you covered

Connecting to a main sewer involves obtaining permissions, including:

• Consent from your water company for the sewer connection and billing adjustments.
• Street Works Licence for excavation in public highways, as required under the New Roads and Street Works Act, 1991.

Our team handles these applications on your behalf, ensuring compliance and a hassle-free process.
