An important part of a septic tank, and the main cause for future issues, is the septic trench. When you say septic trenches, most plumbers still think of the old slotted 90mm pipe and that is what you will most likely be quoted on when you ask for a septic tank system. In some situations these trenches work fine and will have a good long lifespan. However, in our experience, if they are not installed in the correct situation they can be a nightmare. The original couple of hundred dollars that you have saved on installation can end up costing you thousands when you have to dig up and replace the trenches.
The main problems with slotted pipe for septic trenches are…

1. Roots – As you can imagine the effluent that is traveling through this slotted pipe is great food for roots and with the slots in the pipe the roots can quickly take hold as there is nothing keeping them out of the pipe. Because of the slots even if you get a grain cleaner in to clear the drain they will just come straight back.
2. Crushing – when you have one of our plumbers out ask to feel some slotted 90mm it has a very thin wall and can be crushed under the ground.
3. Dirt – once again because of the small diameter and the slots in the pipe if dirt falls through it may fill the pipe and block it up once again once this process starts it is very hard to stop.
4. Buildup of septic waste – the calcification that occurs in a septic tank can also block up these type of trenches as it sits in the pipe and hardens.

At Express, unless stated otherwise on a plan or the preference of a customer we will always install the 450mm jumbo trench. Because we do these jobs every day we can install these often at a cheaper price than our competitors even when they use the cheaper alternative.
