The Top 3 Benefits of Installing a Septic Tank
Septic tank installation involves excavation, tank placement, and connection to your property’s plumbing. Proper installation is crucial for system functionality and longevity.
Here are the top three benefits of installing a septic tank:
- Wastewater Management: A septic tank provides an on-site wastewater management solution. It collects and treats household wastewater, including sewage and greywater, effectively and independently. This means you’re not reliant on a public sewer system, offering autonomy in managing your property’s sewage.
- Cost Savings: Septic tank systems can be more cost-effective in the long run compared to connecting to a public sewer system. You avoid monthly sewer fees, and with proper maintenance, septic systems have a long lifespan. They typically require periodic pumping and maintenance, but these costs are often lower than ongoing sewer bills.
- Environmental Benefits: Well-maintained septic tanks can be environmentally friendly. They naturally treat wastewater, allowing it to percolate into the soil, which helps replenish groundwater. Properly functioning septic systems can reduce the risk of groundwater pollution and contribute to healthier local ecosystems.
Therefore, property owners considering septic tank installation should ensure they are well informed about maintenance requirements and local guidelines to maximise the advantages of this system.
Fortunately, our experts can guide you through the process of installation and maintenance to ensure you have the most optimal functioning septic tank possible.
Alternative Waste Systems Installation and Maintenance
Drainage Fields
Drainage fields, also known as leach fields or soakaways, are essential components of many septic tank systems. We excel in the design and installation of drainage fields, ensuring that wastewater is efficiently distributed and treated as it percolates through the soil. Regular maintenance is also part of our service to keep these systems functioning optimally.
Klargester Systems
Klargester systems are trusted solutions for properties requiring sewage treatment. We have the experience and knowledge to install, maintain, and repair Klargester systems, ensuring that they effectively treat sewage and discharge clean, treated effluent.

Preventive Maintenance for Future Savings
- Cost Savings: Preventive maintenance helps identify and address issues early, preventing them from evolving into costly repairs or replacements. Regular inspections and maintenance are often more affordable than emergency fixes.
- System Longevity: Proper care extends the lifespan of your waste collection and treatment systems. Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure that your systems continue to operate efficiently, reducing the need for premature replacements.
- Property Value: A property with well-maintained waste systems holds a higher market value. Future buyers appreciate properties with a history of preventive maintenance, knowing that they are less likely to encounter unexpected issues.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your waste systems are in top condition provides peace of mind. You can trust that your property is clean, safe, and free from the disruptions and expenses associated with neglect.

Common Causes Of Problems Within A Sewer Line
Why might I need a septic tank for my property?
If your property lacks access to a public sewer system, a septic tank is essential for on-site wastewater treatment. It collects and treats sewage and greywater efficiently and independently.
What factors influence the septic tank I need?
Factors such as property size, soil type, water table depth, and local regulations influence septic tank selection. Our experts can assess your property to determine the most suitable system for your needs.
Are there any environmental considerations with septic tank installation?
Yes, septic tank installation should adhere to local environmental regulations. Properly designed and maintained septic systems can have minimal environmental impact and promote groundwater recharge.
How can I choose a reliable waste management service provider for my property's needs?
Look for experienced, licensed professionals with a track record of providing quality service. Ask for references and ensure they understand local regulations and environmental responsibilities
How often should I have my waste collection system emptied or cleaned?
On average, septic tanks should be pumped or emptied every 2 to 3 years for a typical household with a well-maintained system. Of course, this varies on the household size, tank size, water usage or solid waste in the tank.
Cesspits typically require more frequent emptying compared to septic tanks because they do not have a treatment process. The frequency can range from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the size and usage of the pit.
