As farmers know, carrying out regular maintenance on rural properties keeps machinery, livestock and even crops in optimum condition.

And the same goes for septic tanks in Victoria. Septic tanks have been a mainstay of wastewater treatment on farms across the state for decades. But, just like the trusty tractor, the air seeder or the water pump, they need to be regularly maintained to do their job effectively.

Failure to carry out septic system maintenance can have serious consequences for your farmland, with the leaching of inadequately-treated wastewater having the potential to contaminate groundwater and soil with harmful bacteria and other unwanted substances.

Scheduled maintenance can detect issues before they cause costly damage to your livelihood, whether it’s crops or livestock, to the environment and even to your own health.

Our experienced team will visit your property, inspect your septic tank system and carry out any necessary maintenance and repairs to ensure it is performing efficiently and complying with the standards set by authorities including local government.

Septic tanks need to be looked after if you want them to work well. It’s as simple as that. You should also get the sludge and solids pumped from them every few years to keep them operating at their optimum level.
