Sewage Systems
Express Wastewater Solutions provides installation, service and repairs for sewage systems, using fully qualified and licensed personnel. A sewage treatment system is designed to use natural processes to break down and treat household sewage, separating solid effluent and removing contaminants, vastly reducing the environmental impact of wastewater disposal.
Home Sewage Treatment Systems are made up of 3 main stages for the treatment of wastewater. These are:
- Primary Chamber - contains the grey and black water from your home and holds it until the heavy waste falls to the bottom and a layer of liquid effluent at the top, which then proceeds to the secondary chamber.
- Secondary Chamber - called the aeration chamber. This is where wastewater is treated by anaerobic bacteria which feeds on the pollutants. Small bubbles aerate the chamber allowing aerobic bacteria to grow and breakdown the waste.
- Third Chamber - the settlement chamber is where the wastewater settles and chlorine, or UV light, is used to remove bacteria from the water.
After these 3 phases of the sewage treatment process, your wastewater is then able to be pumped out to irrigate your garden.

Sewage System Installation
Express Wastewater are experts when it comes to sewage systems. Whilst many plumbers may install sewage systems along with their other plumbing services, we decided years ago to specialise in wastewater. We are adept in the supply and installation of home sewage treatment plants (HSTP), providing an affordable and efficient sewage treatment plant to treat and dispose of household wastewater.
Our plumbers are all experts and can guide you through the entire process. We supply and install on-site sewage systems all over South-East Queensland.
Our sewage system experts will discuss your needs, review your block characteristics (including soil testing) and design the right system for you. We will then handle all your council approvals and when finalised, install your sewage treatment system installation to the highest standard.

So, if your sewage system is in need of repairs, get in touch with Express Wastewater Solutions and our experienced technicians and engineers will be with you soon.
Sewage System Maintenance
Sewage system maintenance is an important part of owning and managing a home sewage treatment system. Sewage treatment systems are designed to process human waste so it is important to be aware of what you are putting into your system.
The likes of cooking fats, oils, food scraps and even 'flushable' wet wipes can block pipes, causing major damage to your treatment system. As a result, it is imperative to have a regular maintenance and servicing plan in place to ensure the smooth running of your system.
Here in Queensland, Home Sewage Treatment Plant (HSTP) servicing needs to be conducted quarterly by licensed wastewater professionals as per the regulations set by the Queensland Government. Keeping your system regularly maintained will help to keep it running optimally and prevent any potential disruptions. Contact us to arrange your maintenance schedule.
