Septic Tank Price - Here's What You Should Know

If you need a septic system then its obvious that “Price” does matter. Septic Tank Price is one of the first things that people often think about but it’s probably not the most important factor.

Here are several factors that can determine the Price of a Septic Tank

  • What type of septic system do you actually need. If you can install a gravity feed system this will reduce the price.
  • What kind of impact would you like to make on your environment and a what cost. If maintaining a clean Eco system is important to you then we have the perfect system.
  • If you land is not large enough for dispersal trenches that automatically changes your options. The number of bedrooms determines the size of the your dispersal area. The typical house as 4 bedrooms.
  • What are the ongoing costs of your septic tank system. Our system costs $20 pa for a typical 4 bedroom house. Other systems can cost you hundreds for yearly maintenance, cleaning and pump outs.
  • The materials used to build septic tank. For example poly tank Vs concrete.
  • Your local council septic tank regulationsCouncil permits vary from state to state.
  • The condition and location of your land. Some areas are very remote and very tough to excavate. You might been near a river, lake or even a national park which then creates environmental challenges.
  • Every septic tank system requires an LCA. A Land Capability Assessment. An LCA is a report that assesses the viability of onsite wastewater management on a site where there is no reticulated sewerage. It considers the risks that a wastewater system presents to public health, environment, and local amenity. It’s often very difficult to determine septic tank price until this report is completed. LCA Guidelines VIC
  • Sand Filter. Does your location or council regulations mean that you will need a sand filter for secondary treatment.
  • Retrofit your existing septic tank. We can retrofit 80% – 90% of existing septic tanks.
