Types of Septic Systems We Install

Conventional Septic Tank Systems

Traditional septic tanks use a tank buried deep underground to separate the solid from liquid wastewater. As your home’s wastewater enters the tank, the heavier solids settle to the bottom while the rest of the effluent floats to the top, creating a scum layer. This treated effluent then flows down into a disposal area or an absorption trench and is reabsorbed into the soil.

Septic tanks can be an effective option for a range of different properties and block types. However, the tank itself is only one part of the job. You’ve also got to consider the type of soil on your property, home layout and your wastewater volume and water usage habits.

Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems (AWTS)

Aerated Treatment Systems (AWTS) use extra biological treatment processes to improve the quality of your wastewater before it is dispersed into the soil.

Unlike a conventional septic tank that relies on settling and natural processes, an AWTS introduces oxygen into the mix that supports the bacteria to break down the solids more quickly.

Home Sewage Treatment Plants (HSTP)

A Home Sewage Treatment Plant (HSTP) uses multiple treatment stages to reduce the amount of contaminants in your household wastewater before the treated effluent is distributed into the absorption areas.

Choosing The Right Septic Tank For Your Property

When choosing a septic tank or wastewater treatment system for your home, it’s important to consider your whole property and look past the price tag. Remember that this is a long-term investment.

Factors to consider are:

• The number of bedrooms
• Your household size
• Expected wastewater volumes
• Property size
• Soil conditions
• Available disposal area
• System treatment levels
• Ongoing maintenance needs

Whatever septic tank you choose for your home, our professional and experienced technicians are here every step of the way, from the initial planning stages to the final council approvals.

Do You Need To Schedule Regular Maintenance For Your Septic Tank System?

Proper maintenance is crucial for ensuring the long-term functionality and efficiency of a septic tank system. Standard septic tanks require regular maintenance to prevent issues and costly repairs. Here are the suggested maintenance requirements for a septic tank system:

Pumping

Regular pumping is necessary to remove accumulated sludge and scum from the tank. On average, a standard septic tank should be pumped every 2 to 5 years, although frequency may vary depending on household size and water usage.

Inspections

Periodic inspections of the tank and drainfield are essential to identify any signs of damage, leaks, or clogs. Professionals can assess the system's condition and recommend necessary repairs or maintenance actions.

In addition to these specific maintenance tasks, it is crucial to follow good septic system practices, such as conserving water, avoiding excessive use of household chemicals, and properly disposing of waste materials. Regular maintenance and responsible usage will help prolong the lifespan of your septic tank system.
