What we pump

The work, in the order people ring about it.

Everything Whitford Liquid Waste handles, in the order people ring about it.

Septic

Septic tank cleaning

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

Hydro

Hydro excavation / non-destructive digging

Non-destructive digging around live gas, water, power and comms, so nothing gets clipped.

Grease

Grease trap management

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

Portable

Portable toilet and holding tank cleaning

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

Drain

Drain cleaning and high-pressure water jetting

High-pressure jetting to cut roots and grease out of the line, not just push the blockage along.

Bulk

Bulk cartage service

Bulk cartage service — quoted before we start, and finished the same day where we can.

Vacuum

Vacuum loading

Vacuum loading — booked in, done properly, and left tidy.

What happens on the day

Straightforward, start to finish.

A phone call, and it is booked

One conversation. You hear what it costs, you hear when we can be there, and that is the booking done.

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.

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

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.

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 (03) 5336 1645 with your address and you get a real number, not a range.
