About Service
What Is a Gravity Feed Septic System?
A gravity feed septic system is a proven and cost-effective wastewater solution for properties with suitable soil and site conditions across the Coffs Coast. At Scooper Plumbing, we install and maintain gravity feed systems designed to operate efficiently and remain compliant with local regulations.
These systems use natural gravity to move wastewater into a septic tank, where solids are separated from liquids. Treated wastewater then flows through absorption trenches and is safely filtered through the soil. Because no pumps or electricity are required, gravity feed septic systems are reliable, low-maintenance and economical to run.
We deliver tailored gravity feed septic system solutions, covering installation, repairs, and maintenance to suit your property.
These systems are cost-effective, low-maintenance and operate without electricity for long-term reliability.

Testimonials
People trust our service.
Libby Kartzoff
Drainage solution
Highly Recommended
“Shannon has completed two projects for us…
Firstly, surface and sub-soil drainage around our home, to ensure the sub-floor will remain bone-dry in to the future.
Secondly, groundworks and installation of a GEOHEX driveway and Road Reserve crossing. This was the first time our Council has approved this type of work.
It’s such a relief to deal with someone who communicates so well, is timely in their work, tidy on site, well organised, diligent and a good problem solver.
Thanks so much Shannon, highly recommended.”
Judith & Graham Kieselbach
System Installation
Outstanding Service
“Phoned Shannon on Friday afternoon re pump not working in rainwater tank and he was on site first thing Monday morning. After ascertaining pump was unable to be repaired, Shannon left to purchase a new pump which was promptly installed as well as a new filter. He achieved the best water pressure we have ever had in our system.
We cannot speak highly enough of the service he provided and the quality of workmanship. It was a pleasure having him working at our property and would happily give him 10 stars.
We have no hesitation in recommending his services to others.”

Pipe System Repair
Exceptional Quality
“Shannon was very courteous, and advised me on the best way to approach my problems with an aging copper pipe system to my relocatable home.
He removed an old water heater with the new one in really good time and replaced some of the pipes with new ones and new fittings.
Thanks Shannon for a great job, I was extremely stressed about it but once Shannon had a look and fixed everything I was very happy.
I have already recommended him to other friends should they need any plumbing job seen to.”
