What we pump

The job, plainly.

What Great Lakes Septic Tanks is set up for, and what happens when you ring.

Septic

Septic tanks

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

Septic

Septic tank pump outs

Septic tank pump outs, on a day that suits you and with the site left as we found it.

What happens on the day

No mystery, no mess.

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.

Nobody knows where the lid is. That is fine

Half the jobs start with a probe and a shovel. If the lid has been buried since the eighties, we will still find it.

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.

It is tipped where it should be

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

Documented every visit

Trade waste is only compliant if it is recorded. Every visit is documented and the record is yours.

We leave it safe

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

Why people ring them

Known in Forster for turning up.

Yard premises at Lot 10 Dalman Street, Forster rather than a mobile-only operation

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 much does it cost?

It depends on tank size, access and how long it has been. Ring (02) 6554 7679 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.
