Septic system installation for rural and residential properties
Installing a septic system isn’t just about ticking a box – it’s about making sure your wastewater solution is right for your property and built to last. We specialise in septic tank installs and wastewater systems across rural and residential sites in Wairarapa.
We’ll assess your land – including slope, soil type, and site layout – and recommend a septic system that works with the environment, and the specific needs of your home or building.
All systems are designed to handle wastewater from toilets, sinks, and showers – but not grease or chemicals. We’ll guide you through what can (and can’t) go down the drain, and how to keep your system running well.
Expert water tank installations for reliable water supply
If you’re looking to secure your own water supply, Elite Drainage specialises in water tank installations for both residential and commercial properties across Wairarapa. We supply and install robust, UV-stabilised polyethylene tanks in a range of sizes, typically from 25,000 to 30,000+ litres. Whether you want to capture rainwater for your garden, washing, or general use, we can source and install tanks that suit your requirements.
Our crew handles everything, from delivery and site preparation to the installation of pumps and filtration systems. If you need a replacement or repair for an existing tank, we can help with that too.
The advantages of choosing us include:
- hassle-free, end-to-end service with just one contractor
- a sustainable, self-sufficient water source for your property
- durable tanks that withstand New Zealand’s harsh weather
