The Ward Tank Cleaning vacuum truck, tank polished and hoses stowed

Septic and water tank services

Everything on this page gets done by Paul, with his own gear, to the standard that keeps his name worth painting on the tank.

There is more going on inside a septic system, new or old, than most people give it credit for. Keeping one working effectively and safely takes experience and know-how, and with over 45 years in the plumbing trade, much of it specialising in septic systems, Paul has both.

Homes are the bread and butter, and businesses, campgrounds and rural facilities get the same treatment. Whether you need a routine pump-out, a diagnosis of a misbehaving trench, or your rainwater tank refreshed, the truck comes to you, on time, at a time you choose.

The specialty

Septic tank cleaning & pump-outs

All septic systems pumped out and cleaned thoroughly, including Envirocycle units. The vacuum-tank truck is quiet, efficient, and carries 90 metres of hose so it stays off your property. Every clean ends with a written Septic Tank Cleaning Audit, and if a neighbour books the same day, Pump-Out Partners saves you both money.

Water & rainwater tank cleaning

On acreage around here, tank water is the water. Sludge, sediment and debris come out, the walls get washed down, and your tank goes back to holding water you are happy to drink. The truck that reaches awkward septic tanks reaches awkward water tanks the same way.

Diagnosis & installation

Absorption trenches

The trench is where most septic trouble shows first: soggy ground, smells, water where it shouldn't be. Paul diagnoses what is actually wrong before anything gets dug, and installs new absorption trenches where the old ones are past saving.

Blocked drains

A high-pressure water jet in experienced hands clears the lion's share of blockages, roots and sludge included, fast. Paul has been unblocking drains for more than four decades and will tell you straight if your problem is the pipe itself, not the blockage.

The jobs without a driveway

Campgrounds, rural facilities and business sites, including work for the National Parks at Mogo camp site in Bucketty. If your site has tanks and no easy access, that is not a problem, that is the specialty.

Card payments welcome. Prices quoted up-front before any work starts.

With every septic clean

The Septic Tank Cleaning Audit

A written report on the state of your septic system, handed over when the clean is done: what condition the tank is in, and any nasty surprises waiting around the corner. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and the audit is the ounce.
