What we pump

The work, in the order people ring about it.

Everything HDL Pumping handles, in the order people ring about it.

Septic

Septic tank pumping, residential and commercial

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

Grease

Grease trap pumping and cleaning

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

Grit

Grit trap pumping

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

Commercial

Commercial liquid waste management

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

Industrial

Industrial waste stream pumping

Industrial liquid waste handled at plant scale, with the licensing and the tracking that comes with it.

Emergency

Emergency call-outs

Emergency call-outs for tanks that have stopped waiting for a convenient day.

Scheduled

Scheduled ongoing servicing contracts

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

What happens on the day

Straightforward, start to finish.

You ring, we give you a day

No answering service, no ticket. You get a person, a price and a day that suits the truck and suits you.

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.

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.

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 council report is handled

Treatment systems come with paperwork obligations. We do the service and the report together, so nothing is chased later.

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

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 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 0400 000 171 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
