If you have a Home Sewage Treatment Plant (HSTP), regular servicing is essential to keep your system running properly.
But many homeowners ask:
“What actually happens during a service?”
Why Servicing Is Important
HSTP systems rely on mechanical and biological processes to treat wastewater.
Regular servicing ensures:
– the system is operating correctly
– treatment levels are maintained
– potential issues are identified early
It also helps keep your system compliant with regulations.
What Happens During a Service?
A professional HSTP service typically includes:
System Inspection
The technician checks the overall condition of the system, including:
– tanks
– components
– connections
Air System Checks
The aeration system is critical to treatment.
We check:
– air pumps
– airlines
– airflow
Sludge and Water Levels
Monitoring sludge levels ensures the system is not overloaded.
Component Testing
Key components are tested to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Chlorination
Chlorine levels are checked and maintained as part of the service.
(At Maxfield’s Wastewater, chlorine is included — no extra charges.)

How Often Should Servicing Be Done?
Most HSTP systems require quarterly servicing.
This ensures:
– consistent performance
– compliance with requirements
– early detection of issues
What Happens If You Don’t Service Your System?
Skipping servicing can lead to:
– system failure
– odours and poor performance
– costly repairs
– compliance issues
Regular servicing is far more cost-effective than dealing with major problems later.
