Septic & AWTS Systems in the Illawarra
On a rural Jamberoo, Croom or Tullimbar block without sewer? We install, repair and maintain septic tanks and Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems (AWTS) — all licensed and to council spec.
Local septic & awts systems you can actually rely on
Properties on the rural fringe of the Illawarra — Jamberoo, Croom, Tullimbar, Calderwood, Yellow Rock, Stockyard Mountain — are usually on a septic or AWTS rather than mains sewer. We install and service both, including system sizing for new builds, replacing failed septics with modern AWTS, irrigation field design, council Section 68 approval paperwork, and the annual or quarterly service contracts that AWTS systems legally require.
Common rural callouts: AWTS alarm sounding (usually the air pump or a blocked filter), septic backing up into the house (usually the outlet baffle has failed or the tank hasn't been pumped in 10 years), failed disposal trenches (usually needing a new irrigation field), and pre-purchase septic inspections for buyers.
We coordinate the actual pump-out with a licensed liquid-waste contractor and we'll handle the council compliance and reporting on AWTS service contracts. Pre-purchase inspection reports written in plain English for solicitors and buyers.
