How a septic system works
A septic tank is an underground system that treats your household wastewater. It separates the solids, liquids and scum, so only treated water flows on to the disposal field and back into the soil.
Signs your system needs attention:
- Frequent blockages or backups
- Unpleasant smells around the drains or yard
- Water pooling where it shouldn’t
- An old or undersized tank struggling to keep up
New septic system installs
Ian specialises in wastewater system design and installation, so your system is designed to suit your property and household. Here’s how an install runs:
- Site inspection and council approvals
- Excavation and placing the tank
- Connecting the plumbing and the disposal field
- Testing and handover
We handle everything from the permits to the final checks.
Servicing existing systems
We service existing septic tanks and wastewater systems, and if yours is struggling, we’ll look at it and tell you what it needs. We don’t do pump-outs (see the questions below).

Frequently asked questions
Most take 3 to 5 days on site, depending on the site conditions and council approvals.
Yes. A new septic system in Hawke’s Bay needs council approval, and we handle the consent process on your behalf.
It depends on the number of bedrooms and how much water the household uses. We recommend the right fit for your property.
No. Pump-outs are done by a septic tank cleaning company with a sucker truck. We service existing systems and design and install new ones.
As a general guide, every 3 to 5 years, depending on how much it’s used and the size of the household.
