What we pump

What we get called out for most.

Everything Wastewater Consultants handles, in the order people ring about it.

01

Wastewater

Wastewater treatment plant servicing and maintenance

Routine maintenance on a set interval, so nothing on the property gets to the emergency stage.

02

Septic

Septic systems and accessories

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

03

Grease

Grease traps

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

04

Soil

Soil testing and reports

Waste oil collected and taken for recycling, with the paperwork behind it.

05

Rainwater

Rainwater tanks and pumps

Rainwater tanks drained, cleaned out and refilled, so what comes out of the tap is what you thought was in there.

06

Plumbing

Plumbing and drainage

General plumbing alongside the pump-out, so a cracked line gets fixed on the same visit that found it.

What happens on the day

One visit, done properly.

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.

The tank goes out, not the lawn

Hose run from the truck, tank vacuumed down, sludge and crust taken with it. Boards down if the ground is soft.

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 council report is handled

Treatment systems come with paperwork obligations. We do the service and the report together, so nothing is chased later.

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

What you actually get with Wastewater.

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.
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 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 0447 823 997 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
