What we pump

The work, in the order people ring about it.

Everything South Coast Site Rentals (Ford Hire Pty Ltd) handles, in the order people ring about it.

01

Septic

Septic tank cleanout

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

02

Effluent

Effluent pumpout

Effluent pumped out and carted under licence, from single tanks up to a full transfer station run.

03

AWTS

AWTS commercial system pumpout

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

04

Ablution

Ablution block pumpout

Ablution block pumpout handled on the same visit, so it is not another trip and another bill.

05

Tank

Tank retrofitting and replacement

Tank retrofitting and replacement — quoted before we start, and finished the same day where we can.

06

Portable

Portable toilets and showers

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

07

Shipping

Shipping containers

Shipping containers, on a day that suits you and with the site left as we found it.

What happens on the day

One visit, done properly.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 (02) 4421 6646 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
Book it in

Book it while it is still a job, not an emergency.

Ring (02) 4421 6646 and speak to someone, or leave your details and get a call back.

We read every one of these. If it is urgent, ring instead — it is faster.
