Septic tanks and drainage in Pretoria
Pretoria spreads over a lot of ground the sewer network never reached. Smallholdings around Mooikloof, Zwavelpoort, the east and the north towards Roodeplaat rely on septic tanks and soakaways, while older homes in Tshwane suburbs may still have conservancy tanks. The east has expansive clay that holds water around a soakaway, and the Magaliesberg foothills are shallow and rocky. Parts of the south sit on dolomite, where leaking tanks can cause problems below the surface. Honey sucker operators and drain contractors work from Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West and reach most plots the same day, though long hose runs on big holdings may add time.
Typical septic tank prices requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: pricing a bigger tank, a longer pipe run and a larger drainage field
- Houses: pricing a 2,500 to 5,000 L tank and a basic installed system for a house
- Estates and complexes: bulk pricing for several tanks, with a discount for matching sizes
- Schools, churches and clinics: pricing large tanks and compliance work for schools and clinics
- Farms and game farms: pricing separate systems for the homestead and worker housing in one quote
- Restaurants, shops and offices: pricing heavy duty tanks and installation for shops and restaurants
- Factories, mines, sites and events: pricing bulk tanks for sites and camps, with delivery to a set date
