There is a wide range of conditions where you can set up a septic tank, either in a household or a industrial setting. At Dobson Excavations, we have experience with nearly all circumstances. Prior to installation, we are going to secure council approval for your septic tank system. Dobson Excavations can supply, set up and connect your septic tank system. If an electrical contractor is needed for pump installation, then we can also assist with this.

Where are septic tanks commonly used?

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

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

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

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

The long-term effects 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 route wastewater to the public sewer system, which is the case in remote locations.

Compared to the drain system, the maintenance cost of the septic tank is less expensive. When you are linked to the public drain system, you will keep paying the maintenance charges, at least until you sell the property.

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 use for the septic tank will have an impact on the cost. Dobson Excavators believe in reviewing all the alternatives so that you can make an informed choice.

For example, concrete septic tanks are a lot more costly, 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 troubles, such as degeneration and breakage.

Septic tanks are durable.

We encourage routine maintenance of septic tanks and leach drains pipes for all our customers. The number of times you pump out the septic tank depends on the size of the home. For a 2-person home, you might only need to pump out the waste every four years. Houses with more members will need more frequent septic tank maintenance.

As your septic tank installers Oakford, we suggest the services of a licensed liquid waste collector to pump out the tanks.

Ensure the drain system in your house is operating properly.

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

Appropriately dispose of food waste.

When you allow food wastes into the septic tank, you will have 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 use trash when getting rid of large food wastes.

Avoid pouring oils and fats into the drains pipes.

Oils and fats will not only block the system, but they will also make it hard for microorganisms to break down the waste, which is a crucial step in making sure the water released to the environment is safe and not polluted.

Separate floor drains pipes from the septic tank.

This is crucial when the drain system in your house is being installed. Floor drain pipes will not only raise the pressure on the septic tank, but they will also increase the possibility of oils, sawdust and even more wastes making their way into the septic tank and cause it to clog.

Dispose of medication in the garbage, not the bathroom.

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