What we pump

What we get called out for most.

Everything Abbott's Liquid Salvage handles, in the order people ring about it.

liquid

liquid waste collection, treatment and recycling

Bulk liquid waste taken away under licence and tipped at a licensed facility, with the paperwork to prove where it went.

septic

septic systems and leach drains

The standard household pump-out. We lift the lid, vacuum the tank down, check the outlet and leave the lid seated properly.

portable

portable and chemical toilet servicing

Scheduled servicing that keeps the system inside what the manufacturer and the council both expect.

grease

grease arrestors (FOGMan licensed contractor)

Grease traps emptied, washed out and recorded, on an interval your council will accept.

industrial

industrial waste and oil waste management

Industrial liquid waste handled at plant scale, with the licensing and the tracking that comes with it.

compost

compost manufacturing and green waste processing

compost manufacturing and green waste processing — quoted before we start, and finished the same day where we can.

What happens on the day

Straightforward, start to finish.

You get a person, not a queue

Ring and someone who drives the truck answers. You get a price and a day on that call, not a callback.

We find the lid before we start

If you have never had it pumped, we locate and uncover the tank. Old lids under a garden bed are our normal Tuesday.

Emptied properly, not skimmed

A tank is not done when the liquid is gone. The crust and the settled sludge come out too, which is the part that decides how long before you need us again.

It is tipped where it should be

Waste goes to a licensed facility. If you ever need the docket, we have it.

Your service report, done at the tank

Aerated systems need a service record for the council. It gets filled in while we are there, not from memory afterwards.

We leave it safe

An unseated septic lid is the most dangerous thing on a rural block. Ours go back properly, every time.

Not the same as the next truck

Straight answers

The questions we get asked most.

How often should a septic tank be pumped?

For most households it is every three to five years, and it depends on tank size and how many people live there. If it has been longer than five years, or you have just moved in and nobody can tell you when it was last done, book it.

How do I know if mine needs doing?

Slow drains through the whole house, gurgling, a smell near the tank, or wet ground and greener grass over the trench. Any of those means ring, do not wait.

Do you need to find the lid, or do I?

We can find it. If you know where it is, tell us and we are faster. If nobody has looked in twenty years, that is a normal job for us.

Can the truck get to my tank?

Usually. Tell us if the tank is behind a locked gate, down a steep drive, or more than about thirty metres from where a truck can park, and we will bring the right hose.

What happens to the waste?

It goes to a licensed facility and it is documented. Ask for the docket any time you want it.

Do you do the council service report as well?

Yes. Aerated systems have to be serviced on a set interval and reported. We do the service and fill in the report at the tank, so you are not chasing paperwork later.

How often does a grease trap need doing?

Most kitchens run somewhere between monthly and quarterly, and your council sets the minimum. We will tell you honestly if you are paying for visits you do not need.

How much does it cost?

It depends on tank size, access and how long it has been. Ring 0419 928 026 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
