On the job

Out on the run.

What we pump

The jobs the truck gets called out for.

Everything Vactec Waste Solutions handles, in the order people ring about it.

septic

septic tank cleans

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

liquid

liquid waste disposal

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

chemical

chemical toilet cleaning

Chemical waste collected and consigned to a licensed receiver, with the tracking paperwork done properly.

vacuum

vacuum excavation

Vacuum digging around live services, where a bucket would put a bill through a cable or a water main.

high

high pressure cleaning

high pressure cleaning, on a day that suits you and with the site left as we found it.

portable

portable toilet hire

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

recovery

recovery transport

recovery transport — quoted before we start, and finished the same day where we can.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Vactec.

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.

Can you dig near live services?

That is what the vac truck is for. Water cuts the ground and the vacuum lifts it, so nothing gets clipped the way a bucket clips it.

How much does it cost?

It depends on tank size, access and how long it has been. Ring 0478 198 077 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
