What we pump

The work, in the order people ring about it.

Everything Riverland Tank and Drain Cleaners handles, in the order people ring about it.

01

Rainwater

Rainwater tank cleaning

Rainwater tanks drained, cleaned out and refilled, so what comes out of the tap is what you thought was in there.

02

High-pressure

High-pressure drain cleaning (domestic & commercial)

Blocked drains cleared and the line checked, so the same blockage doesn't come back next month.

03

Septic

Septic tank cleaning

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

04

Aerobic

Aerobic waste water cleaning

Aerobic waste water cleaning — quoted before we start, and finished the same day where we can.

05

Grease

Grease trap cleaning

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

06

Houseboat

Houseboat pump outs

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

07

Bulk

Bulk liquid waste removal

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

What happens on the day

Straightforward, start to finish.

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.

Finding it is part of the job

Under the lawn, under a garden bed, under a slab someone poured over it. We locate the lid and uncover it before anything else.

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.

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.

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.

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

What you actually get with Riverland.

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.
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 (08) 8102 0998 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
