Septic and Sewer FAQs
Common Septic and Sewer Questions
Not sure what is going on with your septic or sewer system? Here are the questions we get asked most by property owners in and around Echuca.
Most septic tanks should be inspected and pumped out every three to five years, depending on the size of the tank and how many people are using it. Regular servicing prevents blockages, overflows and costly damage to your absorption trenches. We can set up a maintenance schedule for you.
Common signs include bad smells around the tank or trenches, soggy ground near the absorption area, slow draining fixtures inside the house, sewage backing up through drains and lush green grass growing over the trenches. If you notice any of these, give us a call and we will come out and take a look.
Yes, we design and install complete septic systems for new builds and replacement systems for existing properties. We handle the council permits, site assessment, tank installation and trench work. We make sure the system is sized correctly for your property and meets all EPA and council requirements.
Recurring sewer blockages are usually caused by tree root intrusion, cracked pipes or a belly in the line where waste collects. We use CCTV cameras to find the exact cause and then carry out the right repair, whether that is root cutting, pipe relining or a section replacement. The goal is to fix it properly so it stops happening.
A sewer system is a council run network of underground pipes that carries wastewater from your property to a treatment plant. A septic system is a private on-site system with a tank and absorption trenches that treats wastewater on your own property. Properties in Echuca town are mostly on sewer, while rural properties typically use septic systems.
