What you actually get with Fluidtec.

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

—

Two pump-out vehicles: a smaller unit that fits down a domestic driveway, and a larger skid-mounted tank for the big jobs

—

Bought Water Tank Cleaning Services NQ and with it a custom-designed Hydro-Evac tank cleaning machine

—

Hydro-Evac strips heavy sediment and sludge — organic contaminants, bacteria, viruses, algae, protozoa, parasites, mould spores — with only minimal water loss

—

After cleaning they test water quality and, if needed, add a chlorine-free additive rather than chlorine

—

They show the customer how to run their own self-diagnostics so the rainwater stays clean between visits

What we pump

The jobs the truck gets called out for.

Everything Fluidtec Environmental handles, in the order people ring about it.

Septic

Septic tank cleaning and de-sludging — domestic and commercial

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

Liquid

Liquid waste disposal

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

Oily/water

Oily/water separator installation, maintenance and servicing

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

Water

Water tank cleaning and sediment removal

Rainwater tanks drained, cleaned out and refilled, so what comes out of the tap is what you thought was in there.

Water

Water quality testing after tank cleaning

Water quality testing after tank cleaning — booked in, done properly, and left tidy.

Portable

Portable toilet hire — building sites and long-term hire

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

Trailer-mounte

Trailer-mounted toilet hire for weddings, parties and events

Toilets delivered, pumped and picked up, on a run that fits the length of your job.

What happens on the day

What actually happens on the day.

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.

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.

Disposed of under licence

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

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.

We leave it safe

An unseated septic lid is the most dangerous thing on a rural block. Ours go back properly, every time.

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.

Can you dig near live services?

That is what the vac truck is for. Water cuts the ground and the vacuum lifts it, so nothing gets clipped the way a bucket clips it.

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 0438 330 828 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.

Book it in
