What we pump

What we get called out for most.

Everything Budget Pumping handles, in the order people ring about it.

Septic

Septic tank cleaning

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.

Holding

Holding tanks

Holding tanks pumped on a standing run, so it never becomes an emergency call.

Stormwater

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

Porta

Porta loo cleaning

Porta loo cleaning, on a day that suits you and with the site left as we found it.

Wastewater

Wastewater treatment

Onsite wastewater systems pumped, serviced and checked over, whatever brand is in the ground.

Maintenance

Maintenance and inspection

Routine maintenance on a set interval, so nothing on the property gets to the emergency stage.

What happens on the day

One visit, done properly.

You ring, we give you a day

No answering service, no ticket. You get a person, a price and a day that suits the truck and suits you.

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.

Hose to the tank, truck stays put

The hose does the walking so the truck does not have to. Sludge, crust and liquid all go, not just the easy layer off the top.

It is tipped where it should be

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

The council report is handled

Treatment systems come with paperwork obligations. We do the service and the report together, so nothing is chased later.

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

What you actually get with Budget.

Taken from what the business says about itself, not from a template.

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 0499 733 374 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.

Book it in

Book it while it is still a job, not an emergency.

Ring 0499 733 374 and speak to someone, or leave your details and get a call back.
