Replacement & upgrades
A sensible next step
for an existing system.
Understand what you have, what has changed and whether repair, upgrading or replacement makes sense.
Discuss your project
Start with the cause.
An older system, a failed component and an increased wastewater load are different problems. We review the available records and site conditions before recommending a scope of work.
When it is worth calling.
- You are adding bedrooms, a suite or another dwelling.
- The system has repeated alarms, backups or drainage problems.
- A tank, pump or distribution component is damaged.
- You have concerns about persistent wet areas or odours.
- You are planning a major renovation or property purchase.
Look at the whole property.
A replacement may involve a new dispersal area, a different treatment approach or improvements to access and controls. Soil conditions and the current building use need to be considered together.
Not every problem means a complete replacement.
An investigation may identify a component that can be repaired or serviced. If broader work is required, we can help map the steps from assessment to installation.
Plan the transition.
We discuss construction access, interruptions to use and the sequence of work before starting. Where necessary, other trades and service providers can be coordinated as part of the project.
