What we pump

Everything the tank might need.

Everything Effluent Control Systems handles, in the order people ring about it.

Aerated

Aerated wastewater treatment system installation

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

Septic

Septic tank installation

New systems supplied and installed, sized to the block and the number of people actually living on it.

Wastewater

Wastewater system servicing

Wastewater system servicing — quoted before we start, and finished the same day where we can.

Wastewater

Wastewater system maintenance

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

Earthworks

Earthworks and civil construction

Earthworks and civil construction, on a day that suits you and with the site left as we found it.

What happens on the day

One visit, done properly.

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.

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.

Disposed of under licence

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

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

What you actually get with Effluent.

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 much does it cost?

It depends on tank size, access and how long it has been. Ring 0418 654 038 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
