What we pump

The work they do.

What Josh Howarth Plumbing is set up for, and what happens when you ring.

Aerated

Aerated wastewater treatment system maintenance

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

Septic

Septic system servicing

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

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.

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.

Lid seated, ground left tidy

Back down square, safe to stand on, and the grass no worse than we found it.

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 0459 422 211 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
