About Service

What Is a Reed Bed Septic System?

Reed bed septic systems are an environmentally friendly wastewater treatment option for properties with suitable land and soil conditions. At Scooper Plumbing, we install and service reed bed systems across Coffs Harbour and the Coffs Coast.

These systems treat wastewater naturally through planted reed beds that filter contaminants before safe dispersal into the soil. They are low-energy, discreet and well suited to rural and semi-rural properties.

Each system is carefully assessed and designed to suit site conditions and council requirements, ensuring reliable and compliant long-term performance.

Septic System Common Questions

Here are a few helpful answers to guide you before you reach out to us.

How does a reed bed septic system work?

Wastewater is treated as it flows through planted reed beds, where natural processes break down contaminants before safe dispersal into the soil.

Are reed bed systems environmentally friendly?

Yes. Reed bed systems are designed to minimise environmental impact and are ideal for properties seeking a natural wastewater solution.

Do reed bed systems require electricity?

Some systems may use minimal power depending on design, but overall energy use is low compared to other treatment systems.

Is a reed bed system suitable for my property?

Suitability depends on soil type, available space and council requirements. A site inspection is required to confirm suitability.

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.”
