What we pump

What the truck is set up to do.

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

Septic

Septic tank cleaning (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 cleaning (residential and commercial)

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

Domestic

Domestic septic servicing for homes, acreages and semi-rural properties

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

Treatment

Treatment plant servicing

Aerated treatment systems serviced, pumped and left running the way the manufacturer intended.

Holding

Holding tanks

Holding tanks pumped on a standing run, so it never becomes an emergency call.

Bulk

Bulk waste water, grease and sewage cartage

Grease traps emptied, washed out and recorded, on an interval your council will accept.

Wash

Wash bay cleaning

Wash bay pits and silt traps emptied before they overflow into the yard drain.

What happens on the day

Straightforward, start to finish.

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.

Disposed of under licence

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

The council report is handled

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

The lid goes back properly

Seated, weighted, and safe to walk over. That last part matters more than anything else on this list.

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 (03) 5942 7126 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
