Septic Tank Installation Bunbury

There is a broad range of scenarios where you can install a septic tank, either in a residential or a business setting. At Dobson Excavations, we have experience with just about all situations. Prior to installation, we will secure council approval for your septic tank system. Dobson Excavations can provide, install and connect your septic tank system. If an electrical contractor is needed for pump installation, then we can also help with this.

Where are septic tanks often used?

Septic tank installation in Bunbury (WA) is common in areas where a small-scale sewage treatment system is essential or in places not linked to the main sewage pipes. The local government and private firms typically control the public sewage system.

The installation and maintenance cost of the public system is also expensive. This is why Dobson Excavations encourage septic tank installation in Bunbury for residential or commercial buildings that are away from drain lines.

Septic tanks are important in the recycling of wastewater. The septic tank system makes use of an all-natural filtering system to eliminate waste. As soon as the septic tank filters wastewater, it ends up in the leach drain. The dirt then separates the bacteria from the water. At this stage, the water is safe for re-use. This water can then replenish the water table, which benefits wildlife.

When we are installing septic tank systems, we take steps to guarantee we do it far from structures, borders, water supplies like dams, and away from groundwater level. At Dobson Excavations, we take measures to ensure your environment remains risk-free, during and after the installation of the septic tank.

Transparent Communication on how to make the installation as cost-effective as possible.

The long-term benefits of using a septic tank make the cost of septic tank installation much lower than that of installing pipes to the public sewer system. This is especially true if you need many pipes to direct wastewater to the public sewer system, which is the case in remote areas.

Compared to the sewer system, the maintenance cost of the septic tank is less expensive. When you are linked to the public sewer system, you will keep paying the maintenance costs, at least up until you market the building.

When determining the cost of installing a septic tank, we will take into consideration the size of the tanks and your location. The material we utilise for the septic tank will have an impact on the cost. Dobson Excavators believe in discussing all the options so that you can make an informed choice.

For example, concrete septic tanks are more expensive, but they will serve you for a longer duration than plastic systems. Concrete septic tanks will cost you more money first, but you will be safe from future issues, such as decay and damage.

Septic tanks are durable.

We suggest regular maintenance of septic tanks and leach drains for all our clients. The number of times you drain the septic tank depends on the size of the family. For a 2-person family, you may just need to drain the waste every four years. Homes with more occupants will need more frequent septic tank maintenance.

As your septic tank installers Bunbury, we recommend the services of a qualified liquid waste collection agency to drain the tanks.

Bunbury septic tank: Proper tank treatment

The longevity of the septic tank installation Bunbury will depend on how well you maintain it. These suggestions will help you ensure it continues to manage the wastewater for several years.

When you contact Dobson Excavators to be your septic tank installers, we will establish the best place for the septic tank.

Ensure the drain system in your house is working properly.

Identify leakages and repair them quickly to keep large amounts of water from draining right into the septic tank installation. The septic tank and drain field will last much longer if they do not get unneeded waste streaming through the system.

Properly get rid of food waste.

When you allow food wastes right into the septic tank, you will need to clear the solid waste from the tank often. This will increase the cost of septic installation, especially when comparing the maintenance cost with that of the public system. It is best to make use of trash when getting rid of large food wastes.

Avoid pouring oils and fats into the drains.

Oils and fats will not just clog the system, but they will also make it difficult for germs to break down the waste, which is an important step in ensuring the water released to the environment is safe and not contaminated.

Separate floor drains from the septic tank.

This is crucial when the drain system in your home is being installed. Floor drain pipes will not just increase the pressure on the septic tank, but they will also increase the chance of oils, sawdust and more wastes finding their way right into the septic tank and cause it to clog.

Dispose of medication in the garbage, not the toilet.

Lots of people presume flushing medication down the toilet is the safest method to get rid of them, but this is not the case, especially when using septic tank installation Bunbury for waste management. Medication can adversely affect your septic tank, and over time, you may need to replace it, which may turn a once low-cost investment into a costly one.
