Introduction.

Septic tank installation is crucial for homes not connected to municipal sewage systems. It ensures effective waste management and protects the environment. In this blog, we’ll discuss innovative septic tank installation solutions offered by Murrell Drainage in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Understanding septic systems.

‍A septic system comprises a septic tank and a drain field. Wastewater from your home flows into the septic tank, where solids settle at the bottom and liquid effluent is discharged into the drain field for further treatment.

Choosing the right septic tank.

‍Septic tanks come in various materials such as concrete, plastic, and fiberglass. Each material has its advantages:

1. Concrete Tanks: Durable and long-lasting, but heavy and challenging to install.
2. Plastic Tanks: Lightweight and easier to install but can be prone to damage.
3. Fiberglass Tanks: Resistant to corrosion and cracks, offering a balance of durability and ease of installation.

Installation process.

‍At Murrell Drainage, we follow a meticulous installation process:

1. Site assessment: Evaluating soil type, groundwater levels, and property layout.
2. Designing the system: Customising the septic system to meet your property’s specific needs.
3. Excavation: Preparing the site for tank placement.
4. Installing the tank: Ensuring the tank is correctly positioned and connected.
5. Drain field installation: Setting up the drain field for effective wastewater treatment.

Innovative technologies.

‍We incorporate innovative technologies to enhance septic system performance:

1. Aerobic Treatment Units (ATUs): These systems introduce oxygen into the tank, improving the breakdown of organic matter.
2. Advanced filtration: Enhanced filters reduce the risk of clogs and improve effluent quality.
3. Remote monitoring: Systems with remote monitoring capabilities allow for real-time performance tracking and maintenance alerts.

Maintenance tips.

‍Regular maintenance extends the life of your septic system. Schedule periodic inspections, pump the tank every 3-5 years, and avoid flushing non-biodegradable items.
