Adding a granny flat or a second dwelling to your property can put significantly more stress on your existing wastewater system. Our wastewater specialists, Tony and Dan, recently completed replacing an outdated septic system with a new Taylex Home Sewage Treatment Plant (HSTP).
This Caboolture property's existing septic system was old, outdated and wasn't built to accommodate the additional wastewater demands that would come with building a second dwelling.
When adding another building or granny flat to your home, it's important to consider more than just the building itself. Additional household members mean increased wastewater from toilets, showers, sinks, washing machines and other household plumbing fittings.
A small or unsuitable wastewater system can lead to:
Rather than trying to increase the load on an ageing septic system, the homeowners needed to find a more suitable long-term wastewater treatment solution.
Many older septic systems aren't designed to accommodate modern wastewater demands, especially if you are planning on adding a granny flat or extra dwelling to your property. An HSTP provides a higher level of wastewater treatment capacity needed to support the home's plans. Our team also completely removed, decommissioned and disinfected the old septic tank before safely installing the new Taylex system.
Upgrading this outdated septic tank, it gave the homeowners a modern wastewater system designed for long-term, reliable use and peace of mind.
If you're building a granny flat, secondary dwelling or additional residence on a property with an existing septic system, it's important to establish whether your current wastewater system has sufficient capacity before construction begins.
