FAQ
All You Need To Know
What type of septic system is best for my property?
The best septic system depends on factors like the size of your property, household or site water usage, soil type, and environmental conditions. For rural properties, an advanced secondary treatment system may be required to meet council regulations, while a standard septic tank may suit a smaller household on a well-drained site. It's important to have a licensed professional assess your property and recommend a system that balances cost, compliance, and long-term efficiency.
How long does a septic tank system last?
A well-maintained septic tank system can last 20 to 40 years, depending on the system type, usage, and how regularly it’s serviced. High-quality systems like those from Fuji Clean are built for durability and long-term performance, but regular inspections, pumping, and servicing are essential to extend lifespan and prevent early failure. Avoiding harsh chemicals and non-biodegradable waste also helps improve longevity.
Do I need council approval for a new septic tank?
Yes, council approval is required before installing a new septic system in most Australian regions. This includes submitting site plans, soil tests, and choosing a system approved for use in your area. A licensed plumber can manage this process on your behalf, ensuring the system meets all health, environmental, and planning requirements. Failing to get approval can lead to fines and future compliance issues.
