Factors, which can affect the time it takes to empty your septic tank include
Where the septic tank lid is difficult to expose because its deep under-ground;
We can’t park close to your septic tank and have to lay-out lots of hoses (the additional distance slows pumping);
The sludge is exceptionally thick because the septic tank is overdue for an empty.
​
Things for you to consider
Please tell us about any potential hazards on your property (tricky driveways, pets, extra heavy septic tank lids etc.).
Our trucks carry 30 metres of hose, so let us know if you think we’ll need more.
​
Our operators are experienced and careful but occasionally pathways, driveways, underground services, lawns and gardens can be damaged by the weight of the truck. Please note that this type of damage is at the customer’s own risk.
Payment:
Invoices are emailed to you after completion of the job. Payment is due within 7 days by direct credit to our bank account.
