What we pump

What we get called out for most.

Everything Ecotreat Solutions NT handles, in the order people ring about it.

01

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.

02

Grease

Grease trap cleaning

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

03

Liquid

Liquid waste management and removal

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

04

Oil

Oil separator servicing

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

05

Portable

Portable toilet hire

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

06

Portable

Portable shower block hire

Portable shower block hire, on a day that suits you and with the site left as we found it.

07

Portable

Portable hand washing station hire

Portable hand washing station hire handled on the same visit, so it is not another trip and another bill.

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.

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.

Disposed of under licence

It leaves your place and goes to a licensed receiving facility. The paperwork exists and you can have a copy.

The driveway survives

Long hose runs, boards where the ground is soft, and the truck kept on hard standing. The trip out should not cost you a driveway.

The lid goes back properly

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

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 (08) 8947 2133 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
