What we pump

The jobs the truck gets called out for.

Everything Southern Disposal Services handles, in the order people ring about it.

Septic

Septic Pump Out

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

Effluent

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

Grease

Grease Traps

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

Grey

Grey Water

Grey water pits and tanks emptied, and the outlet checked while the lid is off.

Portable

Portable Toilet Waste

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

Liquid

Liquid Food Waste

Liquid Food Waste — quoted before we start, and finished the same day where we can.

Sewer

Sewer Pits

Sewer and holding tanks pumped for properties the mains never reached.

What happens on the day

No mystery, no mess.

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.

You get told what we saw

Cracked baffle, roots in the inlet, a lid on its last legs. You hear it while we are standing over it, not in a letter.

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 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 Southern.

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.

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 0499 031 241 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
