What we pump

What the truck is set up to do.

Everything Sandgroper Contracting handles, in the order people ring about it.

septic

septic tanks / leach drains & bio systems

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

site

site and portable toilet cleaning

Portable toilets delivered, serviced and collected. Site sheds, events, and jobs that run long.

grease

grease traps

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

brewery

brewery & wine waste

brewery & wine waste handled on the same visit, so it is not another trip and another bill.

potable

potable water delivery

Drinking and stock water delivered by the load, on the same run as the pump-outs.

oily

oily water separators

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

pump

pump stations

Pump stations and wet wells emptied, floats and switches checked before the lid goes back.

What happens on the day

How the day goes.

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.

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.

Nothing gets quietly noted

Whatever the tank shows us, you hear about while we are still there and can look at it with us.

It is tipped where it should be

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

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.

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 do the rainwater tank while you are here?

Yes, and it is worth doing on the same visit. One trip out, one call-out, both tanks sorted.

How much does it cost?

It depends on tank size, access and how long it has been. Ring 0403 487 894 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
