Pressure sewer systems operate like a normal sewerage system taking waste liquids from your toilet, sink, shower, bath, dishwasher and washing machine and transferring it to the reticulation system or treatment plant. They are generally located in areas where conventional gravity systems are not viable.
Your system has been installed so that we can access it for any maintenance or repairs.
If the wastewater within your house becomes slow to drain, you may have a problem and we need to know.
