Our Septic Services in Dubbo

Installing a septic system can be a difficult task, especially when working with concrete tanks, but our seasoned professionals make the process far easier. Our technicians have the experience and qualifications to make sure your septic tank gets a high-quality installation, one that guarantees it will work for decades, as any good septic tank should. Nudge’s Plumbing will always provide you with the knowledge you need to choose the tank which works for you, with a complete breakdown of the pros, cons, and other factors that determine the best system for your Dubbo property.


On top of this, we can also repair and maintain your tanks to keep them in good working order – this includes desludging the system every five years or so, with a special vacuum truck that removes scum and sludge. Your septic tank will become less efficient over time if you don’t maintain and desludge it when necessary; this can result in raw sewage backing up into the house. If you have any other issues with your tank, we can help to fix these.


If you still have any questions, the following common queries may be able to help. Otherwise, you can always contact Nudge’s Plumbing for a free quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What determines the size of a septic tank?

    Generally, the size of your tank will depend on how much water your household uses and how many people live there. But it's also important to prepare for the future. If you have one child and are thinking of having more children in the future, you shouldn't have a tank fit for a three-person home. 

  • Should I choose a plastic or concrete septic tank?

    Both types of septic tank have their own benefits and drawbacks. Plastic tanks are often easier to install or repair compared to their concrete counterparts, while also being cheaper – but they’re less durable, and may require repairs more often. Concrete tanks last a long while and have the durability to match, but this makes them more expensive; their lifespan might balance this out, however.

  • Will the tank still work if the power fails?

    The tank’s pump requires electricity to work, but this doesn't mean a power outage is a calamity – you will just have to conserve water until it returns. In the meantime, the tank will fill up as you use the water, and you won’t see any major issues from this, so long as you don’t go overboard while the power is out of commission.

  • What are some common maintenance warning signs?

    If you notice water pooling around your septic tank without any rainfall elsewhere, it may mean your tank is leaking. If all of your sinks and toilets are slow to drain, this can also be an issue with your septic system rather than a pipe problem. Strange smells or sounds near the site of the tank is also another cause for concern – and a good reason to give us a call.
