The Workings Of Septic Systems Queensland

By Amanda Bean


Most people have no idea how Septic Systems Queensland operates since they usually call the landlord whenever they have problems. The landlord has his ways of handling the septic issues within the laws. However when you own your own home, this entire burden shifts to you. One needs to look for a good contractor for a quality plumbing job so as to maintain the value of your home.

The simple meaning is that it is waste disposal system for a home where the waste is processed fully within the home setup. There are many types of septic systems for homes but the most commonly used is the drainage tank and drain field. It consists of a large tank buried in the ground with the separated water flowing into the 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 solid waste is then naturally subjected to bacterial breakdown. However, with time, it will build up in the tank calling for draining. There are those specializing in septic tank drainage who will handle this professionally so as to maintain the integrity of the drainage system. Age and size of the system, and number of people in the home will determine how often it should be drained but there is no set frequency.

Your drainage system should be taken care of at every stage right from the beginning. There are materials that should not get into it at all costs as they will damage its operation. It also should be checked regularly to repair any damage in times. It is not as strong as the city sewerage system to handle material like garbage, tampons and the like. These will damage your draianage system and should never be let into the system.

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.

Ask about the different types of septic systems before settling on one. Consider all their advantages and demerits carefully and base your design on that. The simplest is the basic drainage system which will be easy to maintain and cheaper to build. Ask more than one contractor before making any decision and weigh their opinions.

If you are planning to build in a new place, talk to the residents and get to know what systems they have installed. If they are old systems, ask what similar systems are available which are new and betters. Check with the local government to know what new laws govern the building of Septic Systems Queensland.
