Professional Sewage & Septic System Maintenance

Keeping your sewage and septic systems running smoothly is essential for maintaining a healthy and hygienic property. At D and P Plumbing, we provide comprehensive servicing and maintenance of sewerage and septic systems throughout Emerald, Clermont, Springsure, and the Central Highlands. Our skilled team ensures that your system is functioning effectively, reducing the risk of blockages, overflows, and unpleasant odours.

D and P Plumbing are proud distributors of Ozzi Kleen for the Central Highland Region. We participate in specialised training every few years, directly provided by Ozzi Kleen, to ensure we stay updated on the latest technologies and practices.

The Ozzi Kleen RP10 is 100% aerobic, reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly. For more information – Link to Ozzi Kleen

We are licensed to service and maintain all brands and types of septic systems and home sewage treatment plants.
