Our Septic Tank Services
Residents in rural areas of Brisbane often choose septic systems due to lack of access to council sewer systems. Typically they can choose between concrete and poly systems.
Concrete septic tanks are built with an internal baffle wall and fitted with reliable filters. They are available in capacities ranging from 3,050L to 20,000L. By contrast, poly septic tanks are available in various sizes, including 3,000L and 5,000L. They are designed for medium to large household capacities, accommodating 4-8 people and are flexible and less prone to cracking compared to concrete tanks.
Both concrete and poly septic tanks require installation by a licenced plumber. Our septic tank installation service handles everything from soil assessments to council approvals, and our systems are built using high-quality materials to withstand harsh conditions. Internal baffle systems are installed in both concrete and poly septic tanks for maximum efficiency.
Most importantly, we ensure that all septic tanks comply with local council guidelines during installation to prevent issues down the track.
Old septic systems often fail without notice and can produce unpleasant odours. That is because traditional septic tanks run on outdated technology.
However, from root intrusion and cracked lids due to overflowing tanks and blocked effluent pipes, our technicians can inspect, diagnose, and fix issues quickly, with emergency repair options available across Brisbane.
Over two decades, we’ve restored countless systems that were on the brink of failure and, in doing so, have saved homeowners plenty of time, money, and stress in the process.
If your current setup no longer meets capacity or environmental standards, a septic upgrade could be the answer.
We can upgrade older tanks to more modern, environmentally friendly systems that handle organic matter more efficiently while reducing odour and overflow.
In addition, advanced wastewater treatment systems can treat and recycle household wastewater more effectively than traditional septic tanks. So, our team will recommend the right system and then handle the upgrade process with minimal disruption.
Regular professional septic tank maintenance services keep septic systems functioning efficiently over time. We offer bespoke service plans that include inspections, pump-outs, and performance checks.
Most systems should be serviced every 1–3 years, depending on how much you use them. However, watch out for signs like slow drains, unpleasant smells, or soggy soil, which often indicate your system needs attention.

Common Septic System Issues
Unfortunately, Brisbane (and for that matter, the Sunshine Coast) homes can face unique septic challenges. Some of the most common issues include absorption trench failure, overflowing tanks, and blockages caused by tree roots or excess organic matter.
At All Kind Wastewater, we’ve seen it all, and we know how to fix it fast. Whether it’s a minor fault or a complete system breakdown, our experienced team can inspect, diagnose, and resolve a range of issues with minimal disruption.
Signs of Septic System Failure
- Slow-draining sinks or toilets: Could signal a blockage or full tank
- Bad smells around the yard: May indicate a leak or effluent overflow
- Soggy ground near the system: Often caused by trench failure or system overload
- Gurgling pipes: A sign your tank or pipes are under pressure
- Backups or overflows inside the home: Call a professional immediately
If you notice any of these signs, contact our team to arrange an inspection.
