About Septic tank survey
Joseph Ellul (5 Dolce Vita Corte, Triq San Mikiel, San Gwann, SGN 2303, Malta). We run this site and pass each enquiry to drainage engineers covering the enquirer's area.
Why this site exists
We read 41 providers' own pages on 27 October 2026 and only 3 of them print a figure, so the only way to see the spread is to read all of them and show the working. That is what this site is: one table, every source named, dated.
Who it is for
Anyone about to buy this service who wants to know what it costs before they ask, and who would rather see the published prices than a range somebody made up.
