Our Comprehensive Septic Tank Installation Process

Installing a septic system doesn’t have to feel overwhelming when you work with experienced professionals. We take a methodical approach to every septic tank installation project, making sure you understand each step and feel confident in your investment.

Step 1: Detailed Site Assessment and Consultation

Every successful installation of a septic tank system begins with a thorough property assessment. Our qualified engineer will visit your site to evaluate soil conditions, drainage requirements, and accessibility for future maintenance. We’ll also review local council requirements and discuss your household’s specific wastewater needs. During this consultation, we’ll examine factors such as:

Step 2: Custom System Design

Based on our site assessment, we’ll design a septic system that works specifically for your property. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach – we consider your soil type, household size, budget, and local council regulations to recommend the most suitable system type and configuration.  Our design process includes:

Step 3: Council Approval and Regulatory Compliance

We’ll help guide you through the council approval process, ensuring all documentation meets local regulatory requirements. This step is crucial for a compliant installation that won’t cause issues down the track.

Step 4: Professional Installation and Handover

Using specialised equipment, we carefully prepare your site and install your new septic system with minimal disruption to your property and the land area. Our experienced team handles everything from excavation to final connections, ensuring your system is installed to the highest standards.

Once installation is complete, we’ll provide you with comprehensive information about your new system, including maintenance schedules and what to expect during the settling-in period.

Types of Septic Systems We Install

We work with various septic system types to match different property conditions and requirements:

Tank and Absorption Trench Systems

A reliable, cost-effective wastewater solution that treats and disperses effluent safely into the soil through absorption trenches. Suitable for properties with appropriate soil conditions and adequate space.

Sand Filter Systems

These systems provide excellent effluent treatment and are particularly suitable for challenging soil conditions. They require regular maintenance but offer long-lasting, dependable performance when properly cared for.

Evapotranspiration Beds

An effective option for properties with shallow or impermeable soil conditions. These systems work well in drier climates but may have limitations during extended wet periods.

Reed Bed Systems

An environmentally conscious choice that uses natural processes to treat wastewater. These systems have relatively low ongoing costs and maintenance requirements but need adequate space for installation.

Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems (AWTS)

While these systems have higher upfront costs, wastewater management often provides excellent long-term value through superior effluent treatment and flexibility in disposal options.
