The Septic Tank Work We Do
Everything from a blocked tank on a Saturday to a full replacement, done by our own licensed plumbers with one fixed price agreed before work starts.
Blocked Tank Clean-Out
The tank is opened, the crust and debris are pressure-cleaned out, and the inlet and outlet are cleared so the system flows again. The most common septic call we get.
Jet Blasting Via The Tank
When the blockage is in the pipework between the house and the tank, we access the line through the tank, jet blast it clear and camera it to see what caused it.
Septic Pump Repairs
A pump that has stopped, tripped or blocked leaves the tank filling with nowhere to go. We test the pump and float, clear or replace it, and check the discharge line.
Drainage Field And Trench Faults
Soggy ground, smells in the yard or water pooling over the trenches means the absorption area is failing. We find where it has collapsed or silted and fix the drainage.
Inlet, Outlet And Riser Repairs
Cracked lids, broken risers, collapsed inlet bends and root-choked outlets are repaired or replaced so the tank can be serviced without digging every time.
Replacement And New Systems
When a tank has cracked or the system cannot cope with the household, we quote a replacement or a new system sized for the property, with the drainage done to suit the ground.
How Bad Is Your Septic Problem?
Three ways a septic system fails, and what each one usually needs.
Backing Up Into The House
Toilets rising instead of flushing, showers draining slowly, gurgling from the floor waste. The tank or the line to it is blocked. Do this now: stop using water, and call.
Pooling Or Smells In The Yard
Wet, smelly ground over the tank or the trenches, or effluent surfacing after rain. Usually a full tank, a failed pump or a tired absorption area.
Due For A Clean-Out
No drama yet, but it has been years since the tank was pumped and cleaned. A planned clean-out and check is cheaper than the blockage it prevents.
How A Septic Tank Repair Works
The same three steps whether it is a blocked tank at Kemps Creek or a failed pump at Dural.

Septic Tank FAQs
Answer:
It depends on the tank size and how many people use it, but most household tanks need a pump-out every few years. Slow drains, gurgling or smells in the yard mean it is overdue. We can put you on a schedule so it is done before it blocks.
Answer:
We do not quote from a price list because the fix depends on what has failed: a clean-out, a pump, a riser or the drainage field all price differently. Once the tank is opened you get one fixed price, agreed before any work starts.
Answer:
Stop using water straight away so nothing more goes down, and call us. Most back-ups are a full tank or a blocked line between the house and the tank, both fixed the same day.
Answer:
Yes. When a tank has cracked or the system cannot keep up with the household, we quote a replacement or a new system sized for the property, and the drainage is done to suit the ground. Council approval is part of the job and we handle the paperwork with you.
Answer:
Yes. A pump that has stopped, tripped or blocked is one of the most common septic calls we get. We test the pump and float switch, clear or replace it, and check the discharge line.
Answer:
We cover the whole of Sydney, and most septic work is on the acreage belts: Kemps Creek, Dural, Horsley Park, Rossmore, Cecil Park, Belrose and Riverstone among them. Call and we will tell you when a plumber can be there.
