FAQ
All You Need To Know
How often should a septic tank be serviced in Queensland?
In Queensland, most domestic septic tanks should be serviced every 3 to 12 months, depending on the system type and local council requirements. Advanced secondary treatment systems often require more frequent servicing, while traditional tanks may only need pumping every few years. Always refer to your specific approval documents and system manual, and consult a licensed service provider to ensure compliance.
What are the signs that a septic tank needs maintenance?
Common signs your septic tank needs attention include slow drains, gurgling toilets, unpleasant odours, wet patches near the tank, or system alarms sounding. These can indicate blockages, overflow, or mechanical issues within the system. If left untreated, these problems can lead to costly damage or environmental hazards, so prompt maintenance is essential.
Can I maintain my septic tank myself?
Basic care like water conservation and not flushing harmful materials is important, but maintenance should be carried out by licensed professionals. Systems contain electrical components, treatment zones, and specific discharge requirements that require expert handling. Performing unqualified work may also void warranties or breach council regulations.
