SEPTIC TANKS
Septic systems usually need to be cleaned out every 2 to 3 years as part of their regular maintenance
and to prevent any health issues related to contaminated water.
A sign of too much debris or sediment in a septic tank might be a change in tap or shower
water pressure, unusual odors coming from vents or drains, drain or sewer blockages.
The Pipe Vision team can remove the debris and detect any other issues that may be causing
blockages or poor performance of a septic system, as well as perform the regular maintenance needed.
DISPOSAL OF TRADE WASTE
Any liquids or waste disposed of into the wastewater system by a business or as a result of commercial or industrial operations is consider trade waste, and must be disposed of in accordance with local council regulations and/or bylaws.
Pipe Vision works closely with Watercare and local councils to ensure there is compliance around trade waste so that our public wastewater systems are properly maintained.
