Sewage Systems - Get it Right First Time

A failing sewage system can really put a smell up your nose and what’s the point of having a million dollar house if the smell puts the damper on your barbecue?  Council tests show over 65 per cent of sewage systems perform no better than a filtered septic tank and the cheaper systems are producing the worst results. 

These results are sent to the manufacturers of the systems involved and yet plumbers and system agents will still try to sell you ‘their’ system regardless of whether it is actually works properly, or is even suitable for your site.  Some systems cost over $40 a month to run while others cost only $3 a month. 

A cost analysis shows that the cheaper systems can cost $30,000 more to maintain (over 25 years) than other more advanced systems, something agents of the cheaper systems forget to tell you.  Sewage treatment systems range between $14,000 and $20,000 to install so a thorough site assessment and system options report is essential to know the system you choose will stand the test of time and represent good value for money. 

With over 35 years experience in engineering design and wastewater systems Dave is the most qualified person to evaluate soil conditions (soil mechanics) and advise on what system is best for your property. Dave is also in demand to upgrade existing septic tank systems and his knowledge and none.

He can meet you on site and investigate, and cost out, the full range of sewage systems options available for your site.  Then he can prepare a full engineering design and specification to meet Council requirements for the option selected.  By using Dave’s independent design services you are guaranteed the best available system at the lowest possible cost.
