About Our Septic Services
A septic system is one of the most important and most overlooked pieces of
infrastructure on a rural or semi-rural property. Get it right, and it runs quietly in the
background for decades. Get it wrong, and the consequences — for your health,
your property and the environment — can be serious and expensive.
At Geelong Enviro Plumbing, septic systems are a core specialisation. We’re
certified installers and service agents for two of Australia’s most trusted wastewater
treatment brands — FujiClean and Taylex — giving our clients access to premium,
proven technology backed by expert local installation and ongoing support.
Unlike competitors who focus solely on septic work, we’re also a full-service
licensed plumber. That means we manage your entire project — from the initial site
assessment and council permit through to installation, drainage connections, and
long-term servicing. One trusted team. No handoffs. No gaps.
Why Choose Geelong Enviro Plumbing for Your Septic System
Certified in the Brands That Matter
We hold official certification as installers and service agents for both FujiClean and
Taylex — two of the most respected names in Australian wastewater treatment. This
means you get a premium system, installed correctly by a team that knows it inside
out, with warranty and ongoing servicing backed by the manufacturer.
Most local competitors offer generic septic services. We offer certified expertise in
industry-leading systems.
Full-Service Capability
We’re not just septic specialists — we’re licensed plumbers. That means we handle
everything your project requires: site assessment, design, council approvals,
excavation coordination, all plumbing connections, system commissioning and
ongoing maintenance. You won’t need to coordinate multiple contractors or wonder
who’s responsible for what.
We Handle All Council Permits
Navigating council approvals for septic systems can be confusing and time-
consuming. We manage the entire permit process on your behalf, liaising with the
City of Greater Geelong, Surf Coast Shire, Golden Plains Shire , Colac Otway Shire and other local
councils. We know what each council requires, and we make sure your application
is right the first time.
Eco-Friendly by Design
The eco-friendly systems we install — particularly FujiClean and Taylex wastewater
treatment systems — are a significant step up from traditional septic tanks in terms
of environmental performance. Properly treated effluent means better outcomes for
local waterways, soil and groundwater. It’s better for your property and better for the
Geelong region.
Local Knowledge, Real Experience
We’ve worked across Greater Geelong and the surrounding region for years. We
understand the local soil conditions, topography, council requirements and EPA
guidelines that affect every septic installation in this area. That local knowledge
makes a real difference to the quality and longevity of your system.

Our Septic System Services
New Septic System Design & Installation
Installing a new septic system requires careful planning — the right system for your
site, the right design for your council’s requirements, and flawless installation for
long-term performance. We manage the complete process:
• Site assessment and soil evaluation
• System selection and design (FujiClean or Taylex)
• Council permit applications and management
• Excavation coordination and installation
• All plumbing connections
• System commissioning and handover
Septic System Servicing & Maintenance
All wastewater treatment systems require regular servicing to maintain
performance, meet council requirements and protect your warranty. As certified
service agents for both FujiClean and Taylex, we provide manufacturer-approved
servicing that keeps your system running optimally and your compliance
documentation up to date.
• Scheduled quarterly and annual servicing
• System performance checks and reporting
• Filter and component cleaning
• Pump and mechanical inspection
• Council compliance documentation
Septic System Repairs & Fault Diagnosis
If your system is underperforming, alarming, or showing signs of failure, our certified
technicians can diagnose and repair the issue quickly. Common signs of a problem
include slow drains, gurgling sounds, odours, or pooling water near the drain field.
Don’t ignore the warning signs — early intervention is always less costly than a
system failure.
Septic System Upgrades & Replacements
Older concrete septic tanks are increasingly being replaced with modern, EPA-
compliant treatment systems. Whether your existing system has failed, no longer
meets current regulations, or simply needs upgrading, we can manage the full
transition — decommissioning the old system and installing a new FujiClean or
Taylex unit with minimal disruption to your property.
Pre-Purchase Septic Inspections
Buying a rural or semi-rural property? A septic inspection before settlement could
save you from a very costly surprise. We provide thorough pre-purchase
inspections and written reports so you know exactly what you’re buying.
How It Works
1. Initial Consultation & Site Assessment
We discuss your requirements, visit the site, assess soil conditions, setback
distances and access, and advise on the best system for your property and council
requirements.
2. System Design & Council Permit
We prepare the wastewater design and manage the council permit application on
your behalf. We’ve worked with all local councils across the Geelong region and
know exactly what’s required.
3. Installation & Commissioning
Once approved, we coordinate and complete the full installation — excavation, tank
placement, all plumbing connections and system commissioning. We aim to
minimise disruption and complete the job efficiently.
4. Handover & Ongoing Servicing
We walk you through your new system, provide all documentation, and set you up
with a servicing schedule. As your certified service agent, we’ll be there for every
scheduled service going forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need council approval for a septic system in Geelong?
Yes. Under the Environment Protection Act 2017, a permit is required from your
local council to install, construct or alter any part of an onsite wastewater
management system. Approval can take four to six weeks. Geelong Enviro
Plumbing manages this entire process for you.
What’s the difference between a traditional septic tank and a modern wastewater
treatment system?
Traditional septic tanks provide basic treatment and are increasingly considered
outdated by councils and the EPA. Modern systems like FujiClean and Taylex use
advanced aerated treatment processes that deliver significantly cleaner effluent,
better environmental outcomes, and are required by most councils for new
installations.
How often does a septic system need servicing?
Most modern wastewater treatment systems require quarterly servicing to maintain
performance and comply with council requirements. As certified service agents for
both FujiClean and Taylex, we provide scheduled servicing and all required
compliance documentation.
Can I use the treated water on my garden?
Yes — one of the major advantages of modern systems like FujiClean and Taylex is
that the treated effluent can be used for lawn and garden sub-surface irrigation,
reducing your mains water usage and keeping your property green year-round.
How long does a septic system last?
A well-maintained modern wastewater treatment system can last 20–40 years or
more. Regular servicing is the single most important factor in extending the life of
your system and avoiding costly repairs.
