The Workings Of Septic Systems Queensland

By Amanda Bean


When planning to own a home one need to have some idea how the Septic Systems Queensland operates. Since many people in this area depend solely on the landlord to do the dirty work of septic maintenance, they do not know anything about this task. As soon as you decide to own a home, the issue of this drainage system crops up. It requires regular maintenance and having a good contractor at hand for any issue that may arise other than the initial design and building.

This is a special system where the waste is disposed of in the home and the sewerage is processed within the property. The most common is the septic tank and drain field option; here the home waste flows into a large buried tank. This tank then allows for solid and water to separate then water flows into a drain field.

What makes the drain field is a large PVC pipe having holes al through it to allow water to seep into the ground under it that is prefilled with sand and rocks. This facilitates the recycling of water back into the water cycle through the ground water basin. The size of the drainage tank is controlled by the local authorities who also determine the length of the drain field based on your house size.

The separated solid waste is degraded by the bacteria therefore it doesn't fill the tank. However at times it gets to fill and requires draining. A professional works to drain the tank thereby maintaining the septic system integrity. Since there is no specific interval for draining the tank, its size and age will determine how often you drain it.

The system needs to be taken care of right from the start. The type of material getting into it largely determines its period of service to the home owner. Regular checking is important so as to mitigate any damage before it is too late. Do not use garbage disposal in a home septic the way it is done in the city sewerage system. Things like tampons and grease down the sink will only damage it.

It is very important to design the septic system before beginning the house building. Consult an expert and test the design before going any further with building. The place you put the house will be based on the tested drainage system design for best performance. A poor design will cost you a lot and may need an additional pump for operation as compared to the simple gravity fed system.

Compare several septic systems first then settle on the best one for your case and budget. Put into consideration their advantages and disadvantages. First consider the simplest design and that which will be easy to maintain over the years. After asking more than one contractor you will be in a position to choose your design.

When buying land in a new area, ask the earlier residents about the systems they have in place. Check this with the local authorities about Septic Systems Queensland and if there have been any changes in the regulations over the years. Also consider technological development, there may be a better option to what they have in place.
