Septic System Pump Out

Is Your Septic System Due for a Pump Out?

Many homeowners don't think about their septic tank until it starts to smell. We get it - dealing with your septic tank is messy, stinky and unhygienic, but it's important to keep an eye on it and keep up with regular maintenance and pump outs.

As sludge and scum accumulate at the bottom of your septic tank, they can impact the efficiency of your system. This leads to slow drains, gurgling pipes, sewage backups or system failures.

At Express Wastewater Solutions, we are proud to provide clean and comprehensive septic pump-outs all over Brisbane and South East Queensland. Our highly trained wastewater technicians thoroughly inspect your municipal sewer system, emptying out the effluent and liquid waste, preventing clogs and extending the lifespan of your septic tank.

Whether you don't remember the last time your septic tank was pumped or you've just moved into a rural property and need to establish a new pumping schedule, our technicians are happy to help.

Our Septic Pump Out Process

Here at Express Wastewater Solutions, we specialise in quick, effective and efficient septic tank pumping and cleaning. Our technicians are proud to provide affordable and long-lasting wastewater and septic services for our local Brisbane and South East Queensland community.

We know that every septic tank's condition is different. Generally, a pump out takes 20 - 30 minutes for small to medium tanks and 45 minutes up to an hour for larger systems. How long the septic tank maintenance will take also depends on the amount of waste inside your tank, your usage habits and how big your household is.

Every septic tank pump-out job follows these steps:

1. Our technicians remove the lid of your septic tank to gain access to the inside.

2. Our advanced vacuum truck connects to your tank and pulls both the liquid waste and settled sludge up from the bottom of the tank, getting it ready for safe disposal.

3. Once the tank is fully emptied, we thoroughly wash all parts of your septic tank, including the inlet and outlet pipes, making sure to dislodge any remaining solids that we might have missed.

4. We then perform a visual inspection, checking for cracks in the concrete or any blockages in the inlet and outlet pipes.

5. Our technicians ensure that all access lids and manholes to your septic tank are resealed, leaving your property clean and your system ready to use.

6. The liquid effluent is transported and disposed of safely at a licensed treatment facility that adheres to the local environmental rules and regulations.
