What we pump

Everything the tank might need.

Everything South Gippsland Septic Tank Cleaning handles, in the order people ring about it.

01

Septic

Septic tank cleaning and pump-out

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

02

Liquid

Liquid waste removal

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

03

Grease

Grease trap pump-outs

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

04

Triple

Triple interceptor cleaning

Triple interceptors pumped and washed down, so the last chamber is doing its job and not passing solids on.

05

Below

Below ground service locating

Below ground service locating, on a day that suits you and with the site left as we found it.

06

Septic

Septic system reports

Septic system reports handled on the same visit, so it is not another trip and another bill.

07

24/7

24/7 emergency response

Emergency call-outs for tanks that have stopped waiting for a convenient day.

What happens on the day

How the day goes.

You ring, we give you a day

No answering service, no ticket. You get a person, a price and a day that suits the truck and suits you.

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.

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.

Disposed of under licence

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

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.

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 South.

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

Modern vacuum trucks

24/7 emergency response

Offers written septic system reports — useful at property sale and for council compliance, a service most rivals do not list

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.
How much does it cost?
It depends on tank size, access and how long it has been. Ring 0427 350 360 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
