Local Septic Tank Installation & Manufacturers in Macleay Island QLD

Factors to consider before selecting a new septic tank system

When installing a new septic tank, there are a number of key determinations you should consider to make sure things go to plan.

• Terrain: You should avoid placing the septic tank at the base of a slope, as the rainwater could potentially flood the tank. With nowhere to go, water could flow back in your house and cause smelly problems! With this in mind, look to place your tank on level or high ground.
• Soil: Septic tanks placed in soil that doesn’t absorb water effectively may not be able to treat the sewage before it is released into your garden. Look to install your septic tank in sandy, undisturbed soil and avoid clay or gravel.
• Council restrictions: While septic tank system installation is generally unregulated in rural and remote areas, urban regions may have restrictions. Consult your local septic tank manufacturer to see if septic tanks can be installed in your household.
