What we pump

What we get called out for most.

Everything Evans Earthmoving Contractors 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 pumping

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

03

Pump-outs

Pump-outs

Pump wells and sullage pits emptied and the float switches checked while the lid is up.

04

Trench

Trench pumping

Absorption trenches inspected and cleared, which is usually the real reason the tank keeps filling.

05

Routine

Routine septic servicing

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

06

Earthmoving

Earthmoving and excavation

Excavation work around tanks, trenches and lines, done by the people who have to pump it afterwards.

07

Tip

Tip truck and water cartage

Clean water carted and delivered, for tanks that ran dry before the rain came.

What happens on the day

Straightforward, start to finish.

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.

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.

You hear it straight

If something down there is on its way out, you are told at the tank, in plain words, with no invoice attached to the sentence.

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.

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 Evans.

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

Covers the whole Atherton Tablelands

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.
Can you do the rainwater tank while you are here?
Yes, and it is worth doing on the same visit. One trip out, one call-out, both tanks sorted.
How much does it cost?
It depends on tank size, access and how long it has been. Ring 0419 652 701 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
