Our team utilise the latest in septic system best practices. Many companies use old slotted 90 mm pipes to in absorbtion trenches. The problem with this style of pipe is that tree roots, dirt and other foreign matter can find its way inside the pipe causing it to block up, eventually leading to trench failure.

We will only use specialised 450 mm jumbo trench pipe that not keeps out tree roots and dirt, preventing blockages, but will also gives you a much longer lifespan on your septic system.
