is it possible to enlarge a Fosse? SPANC inspection
Herbert replied to Herbert's topic in House Renovations
Hi Dave&Olive Thanks for this. That is good to know. Two of our bedrooms are definitely double, but two of them I would argue are single. We have managed to fit a small double bed in each but with very little room for anything else (both rooms are 2.9x2.65). Based on that I think we would be under the 3000. I have just, however, found the "survey" results for the fosse we got when purchasing the house in 2008 and it doesnt look good. I cannot remember being that concerned about it at the time but think the estate agent and seller helped to convince me it was all fine..it doesnt look good and I dont think it was installed by a professional. Les conclusions contrôle sont ci après rapportés: "Filière conforme / satisfaisante: non Filière inexistante / incomplète: oui Dégradations importantes constatées (colmatage, corrosion, effondrement,…) : non Filière notablement sous dimensionnée: non Nuisances constatées (odeurs, écoulement sur terrain voisin, …): non Filière à l'origine d'une pollution et/ou d'un problème de salubrité publique: non Autres: non Précisions: ABSENCE DES VENTILATIONS" Le diagnostic est demeuré ci-joint et annexé après mention. Une note de renseignement sur l'urbanisme émanant de la mairie en date du 11 décembre 2007 est demeurée ci-jointe et annexée après mention. L’ACQUEREUR déclare avoir reçu toutes les informations nécessaires à la localisation, à l’entretien, au fonctionnement concernant l’installation d’assainissement individuel. The inspection is on the 19th Feb and I will not be in the country but am going to ask a friend to attend. I have also never had it emptied since we purchased it (we have only been using the house for a couple of months a year) so guess I need to get that done before the inspection? I am fearing the worst and think I will need a new Fosse which is going to hurt! Am I worrying too much ?!! Cheers! Herbert -

Dave - thanks for your response -
Hi, We have just received a letter telling us that we will get inspected by SPANC soon. The 3000 litre fosse we have was put in six years ago just before we purchased the house. At the time the house only had two large bedrooms a kitchen and living room. We have now converted it to four bedrooms and I am worried that it will fail the spanc inspection because it is undersized. Does anyone know how easy it is to enlarge a Fosse? I really want to avoid the cost of replacing it. Any advice appreciated! Thanks
