About Septic Tank Installation
Frequently Asked Questions
Want to know more about our septic tank installation services? We’ve answered some of the most common questions here.
what are the benefits of a septic tank?
When it comes to disposing of wastewater, property owners have two main options: using sewer lines that transport waste to a treatment plant or installing a septic tank. In rural areas with limited access to sewer systems, septic tanks often offer the best solution:
- Cost-Effective: Once installed, they require minimal ongoing costs compared to the high fees of being connected to a municipal sewer system.
- Environmentally Friendly: A septic system treats and recycles wastewater on-site, helping to protect the environment by reducing the risk of contamination in nearby water sources. With proper maintenance, septic systems can be a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for managing wastewater.
- Long-Lasting: With proper care and maintenance, septic tanks are built to last. With minimal upkeep, you can count on your septic system to reliably handle your wastewater needs for years to come.
- Easy to Maintain: Septic systems are relatively easy to maintain, with simple tasks like periodic pumping and inspections to ensure long-term functionality.
- On-Site Water Treatment: One of the biggest advantages of a septic tank is its ability to provide on-site water treatment. This means your wastewater is treated right on your property, reducing the need for complicated infrastructure and the strain on municipal systems.
Do I need council approval?
Yes, in most areas you will need council approval before installing a septic system. This typically involves submitting a site and soil evaluation, system design plans, and a permit application to your local council. Regulations vary by state and council, so it’s best to check with your local authority. At Mid Valley Septics, we can guide you through the approval process to ensure compliance.
What size septic tank do I need?
Choosing a septic tank system can be a daunting task. The right septic system depends on your household size, property boundaries and layout, soil type and condition, and local council regulations. Most properties will find that standard sizes are enough, but larger households or commercial properties may require bigger systems. At Mid Valley Septics, we offer tailored solutions to ensure your system meets both your needs and environmental requirements.
What are the maintenance requirements?
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your system running efficiently. This includes:
- Scheduled pump-outs (every 3–5 years, depending on usage)
- Inspecting and cleaning filters to prevent blockages
- Avoiding harsh chemicals that can disrupt the bacterial balance
- Keeping drains clear of non-biodegradable items
At Mid Valley Skeptics, we offer septic tank maintenance services to keep your system in top condition.
How Do I Know My System Needs Repairs?
One of the last things you want is a malfunctioning septic tank! Some of the warning signs your system might need a repair include:
- Slow-draining sinks, toilets, or showers
- Unpleasant odours near the tank or drain field
- Pooling water or lush green patches around the system
- Gurgling noises from pipes
Think your system needs repair services? No problem! Beyond installation and maintenance, we offer comprehensive septic tank repairs to get you system back up and running!
What Materials Are Septic Tanks Available In?
Septic tanks are available in a range of materials that can be selected to suit a range of needs. The most common in Australia include:
- Steel Septic Tanks: Steel septic tanks are among the most common as they are cost effective and easy to install. However, they are prone to rusting and leaking with our regular maintenance.
- Concrete Septic Tanks: Made from precast concrete and rebar, concrete septic tanks are the most durable. They are able to withstand heavy loads and are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes.
- Plastic Septic tanks:Plastic septic tanks are a popular choice as they are lightweight, easy to install and resistant to the biological and chemical processes that occur in a septic tank.
