Sewerage (Sewage) treatment plant maintenance & servicing.

When to choose this service

Book STP maintenance if you have alarms, odours, high levels in the tank, poor discharge clarity, unusual noise from blowers/pumps—or you need routine servicing, desludging and compliance paperwork for permits/consents.

Ideal for homes, estates, schools, hospitality and industrial units. We manage service intervals (typically 6–12 months), sludge removal, and effluent sampling to support the General Binding Rules or permit conditions.
