Reliable Septic Solutions
We work with homeowners, builders and rural property owners to install septic systems that match the flow rate and daily demand of the property. If you’re dealing with backups, strong odours or soggy patches around your current tank, it might be time for an upgrade.
Our process includes inspecting your existing system (if applicable), selecting the right tank and treatment design, and completing all work to regulation standards. We also offer advice on future servicing, pump outs and how to avoid unnecessary damage.
Whether your property uses gravity-fed or pump-out designs, we’ve worked with it before—and we make sure everything functions efficiently without disrupting your day-to-day.
How does a septic tank system work?
Hidden water leaks can present as damp spots on walls, ceilings, or floors, an unexplained increase in water bills, or a persistent musty smell. You might also notice mould growth in unexpected areas.
Early detection is key to avoiding structural damage and costly repairs, so it's important to investigate unusual changes promptly.
What size septic tank do I need?
A constantly running toilet is often caused by a faulty flapper valve, a misaligned float, or a worn-out fill valve. These parts control the flow of water into the tank and bowl. When they fail, water continuously flows, increasing your water usage. Replacing or adjusting these components usually resolves the issue.
Do I need council approval to install a septic tank?
Yes, septic tank installations require council approval. You’ll need a site assessment, design submission and relevant permits before installation begins. This ensures the system meets environmental and health standards. A licensed plumber can assist with paperwork and make sure all work complies with local regulations.
