What we pump

What the truck is set up to do.

Everything Parkers Liquid Waste handles, in the order people ring about it.

Septic

Septic tank cleaning and maintenance

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

Grease

Grease trap removal

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

Grey

Grey water removal

Grey water pits and tanks emptied, and the outlet checked while the lid is off.

Oily

Oily water removal

Oily water and separator pits pumped and disposed of under licence, with the tracking paperwork.

Hydro

Hydro excavation

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

Portaloo

Portaloo hire and servicing

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

What happens on the day

How the day goes.

You get a person, not a queue

Ring and someone who drives the truck answers. You get a price and a day on that call, not a callback.

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.

The tank goes out, not the lawn

Hose run from the truck, tank vacuumed down, sludge and crust taken with it. Boards down if the ground is soft.

It is tipped where it should be

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

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.

Lid seated, ground left tidy

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

Not the same as the next truck

What you actually get with Parkers.

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

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 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.

How much does it cost?

It depends on tank size, access and how long it has been. Ring (07) 4974 4111 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
