Do septic tanks need to be cleaned out?

Yes! Regular septic tank cleaning removes collected solids and prevents backups and system failure. Regular cleaning ensures efficient operation and extends the system’s lifespan.

What time of year is best to empty the septic tank?

Spring and early autumn are the ideal times for septic tank pumping. Spring allows easier access to thawed ground and helps manage water levels after winter. Early fall is also a good choice, especially before increased holiday usage.

What is the Average Septic Tank Repair Cost?

Septic repair costs vary widely. Minor issues might cost a few hundred dollars, while major repairs can reach several thousand. The specific problem and the extent of damage are key factors.

Concrete vs. Plastic Septic Tanks: Which is Better?

Concrete septic tanks are often considered better than plastic ones due to their unique features. Homeowners usually prefer concrete septic tanks due to the following features:

Higher durability
Rust resistance
Installation stability
Prevention of “floating” to the ground’s surface
Minimal impact on groundwater quality

Does shower water go into a septic tank?

Yes! Shower water and all other household wastewater typically flow into your septic tank.

What should you never put in a septic tank?

Never put cooking grease, oil, fats, or non-flushable wipes (like baby wipes or wet wipes) in a septic tank. These substances can cause clogs and disrupt the system’s natural breakdown process. Only flush human waste and toilet paper.

How Septic Tank and Sewage Systems Work?

Septic systems treat household wastewater in a simple yet effective way:

Wastewater Enters: All wastewater from your home flows into the septic tank.
Solids Settle: Solids settle at the bottom, while oils and grease float to the top.
Bacteria Break Down Solids: The bacteria in the tank break down the solid waste.
Liquid Effluent Flows to Drainfield: The clarified liquid (effluent) flows to a drain field, where it is further treated by soil.
Water Re-enters Groundwater: The treated water eventually re-enters the groundwater.
Solids Removed Periodically: You must pump out the remaining solids in the tank regularly.

What is the most expensive part of a septic system?

The leach field (the drain field) is the most expensive part of a septic system to repair or replace. Depending on the size and complexity of the system, a full replacement can cost up to AUD 20,000.
