About Ward Septics

A specialist with 45 years in the trade, not a franchise

"My name is Paul. I have been in the plumbing industry for over 45 years, and much of that time I specialised in septic systems. Sometimes in parts of the world where no other waste management systems even existed, so I learned fast and learned very well."

Ward Septics is Paul's own outfit: his trucks, his hoses, his name painted on the tank. He specialises in remote and hard-to-reach properties that other companies won't touch, and he arranges every job for a time that suits you. If you work late, he can be there early.

What Paul does

Services

Septic systems are the specialty, water tanks are the second trade on the truck, and both get done properly the first time.

Septic tank cleaning & pump-outs

All septic systems pumped out and cleaned thoroughly, including Envirocycle. Every clean comes with a written audit of your system's condition.

Water & rainwater tank cleaning

If your household runs on tank water, a clean tank is not a luxury. Sludge out, walls washed down, your water supply refreshed.

The 90-Metre Line

The truck stays on the road. Your lawn stays a lawn.

Ward's truck carries 90 metres of pump-out hose. That is the length of a football field, uphill, around the garden beds and through the gate, without a tyre on your grass.

Steep driveway, soft lawn, tank down the back behind the shed: this is exactly the job Paul built the truck for. He specialises in remote and awkward properties other companies turn down, and most of the time the truck never has to leave the road edge at all.

Septic country around here is acreage country: plateau blocks, river bends and valley farms, most of them on tank water and all of them off the sewer. Paul covers the whole spread, town fringe to the properties the map forgets.

What the customers say

As told by the people whose tanks Paul has cleaned.

Paul was so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable, he worked wonders with the many issues with our septic system and we couldn't be happier.
Heather
I called Ward Septics for a remote cleaning job I had in the lower Hunter Valley region. My call was answered, the process was clearly explained and a very reasonable price was made clear up-front. Fantastic service from Paul. Highly recommended.
Matthew
Could not have had a better experience than the one we had today when Paul and co cleaned our septic system and grease trap. Such lovely, warm, brilliant and knowledgeable gentlemen who were on time, polite and efficient.
