Sewerage Treatment Plants and Septics

Septics and Sewerage treatment plants are often one of the most common causes of blockages in rural Darwin or on sites that have systems in place. A back up can occur when a blockage is further down the line.

The best way to prevent a blockage is maintain the condition of the system in place. Many of us forget about these sensitivities, and absent-mindedly flush foreign objects down our toilets and sinks. Sanitary items such as wipes, cotton tips, and paper towels are major culprits. The cotton or plastic that many of these products are made from doesn’t break down into the sewerage slurry septic systems are designed to handle, so they can become caught on the edges of pipes and create significant blockages.
