What we pump

Everything the tank might need.

Everything Able Liquid Waste handles, in the order people ring about it.

Septic

Septic tank cleaning and pump out

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

Grease

Grease trap cleaning

Kitchen grease traps emptied and washed out on a schedule that keeps the council and your kitchen happy.

Sullage

Sullage & holding tank cleaning

Sullage and grey water pumped out and taken away, on a schedule or as a one-off.

Stormwater

Stormwater pit cleaning

Stormwater pits and silt traps cleaned out so the first big rain does not back up over the yard.

Sewer

Sewer pit cleaning

Sewer and holding tanks pumped for properties the mains never reached.

Portable

Portable toilets & portaloo cleaning

Portable toilets delivered, serviced and collected. Site sheds, events, and jobs that run long.

Contaminated

Contaminated & non-contaminated groundwater removal

Contaminated & non-contaminated groundwater removal, on a day that suits you and with the site left as we found it.

What happens on the day

One visit, done properly.

A phone call, and it is booked

One conversation. You hear what it costs, you hear when we can be there, and that is the booking done.

Finding it is part of the job

Under the lawn, under a garden bed, under a slab someone poured over it. We locate the lid and uncover it before anything else.

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.

The paperwork follows the load

Tipped at a licensed facility, recorded, and available to you if a council or a buyer ever asks where it went.

If it cannot wait, it does not

A tank coming back up the shower is not a next-week job. That is a phone call and a truck moving.

The lid goes back properly

Seated, weighted, and safe to walk over. That last part matters more than anything else on this list.

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.

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 (02) 9427 2802 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
