Small Septic Tanks

Affordable Small Septic Tanks For Your SEQ Home

Are you worrying about managing your wastewater on your small property? Dealing with sewage disposal properly isn't at the forefront of people's mind and many homeowners won't think about it until something goes horribly wrong.

Traditional heavy concrete septic tanks are often impractical, expensive to maintain and come with high installation costs, especially for tiny homes, cabins or properties with minimal usage. If you live in a smaller home, you need a small septic tank.

Express Wastewater are the leading supplier and installer of septic tanks on the Sunshine Coast and the Brisbane and Scenic Rim regions. We offer a wide range of small septic tank services including urgent maintenance, emergency repairs and installations, providing peace of mind and an affordable, tailored solution for your home's unique needs.

What is a Small Septic Tank?

A small septic tank is a cost-effective and efficient way to manage wastewater in your home. Unlike conventional septic systems, these tanks are designed with smaller properties in mind, making them perfect for tiny homes, cabins, campervans and houses that only have one toilet. Their compact design and efficient capacity is ideal for managing small amounts of waste and greywater before it is dispersed or treated elsewhere.

Small Septic Tank Installations

Living in a small property, you want to maximise all the space that you have. Our technicians will help you to make the most out of your space, tailoring our installation services to tiny homes, cabins or rural, off-grid properties. Proper site preparation is essential for a smooth and efficient installation process and our team are highly trained to handle all the necessary groundwork and council permissions before placing your new tank.

Do not attempt to install your small septic tank by yourself and without the proper training - hire the experts. Our team prides itself in providing fast, reliable and affordable septic tank solutions throughout the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and South East Queensland.

Small Septic Tank Repair and Replacement Services

Small septic tanks, due to their size and intermittent usage, can be particularly vulnerable to overloading and frequent repairs. Our specialised technicians use the latest technology and techniques to accurately pinpoint a range of issues like leaks, blockages and sediment build up in all types of small septic tanks and wastewater treatment systems.

Small Septic Tank Maintenance

Keeping up with preventative septic tank maintenance is a great way to make sure your small septic tank and its components remain efficient and functioning properly for well into the future. Our team of technicians thoroughly check your entire system for faults, possible leaks and cracks and make sure that everything is running smoothly.

Express Wastewater’s team recommends having your small septic tank pumped out once every 2 - 5 years to remove sediment, sludge and scum build up. Depending on the size, this may involve removing hundreds of litres of liquid and solid waste!

Cleaning your small septic tank is a messy but necessary job. Our septic tank technicians perform a thorough clean, removing debris like tree roots and other organic matter. Once cleaned, we hose it down and scrub it as well as inspect the inlet, outlets and lids to ensure they are in tip top condition.
