Septic Tank Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures septic tank compliance, prevents costly repairs, and keeps your system running smoothly.

• Service it regularly and pump it out as needed. We recommend cleaning your septic tank every 3–5 years, depending on the size and household usage, to prevent overflow and system failure.
• Only flush wastewater and toilet paper. Wet wipes and sanitary products cause blockages and are expensive to remove. Chemicals can disrupt the bacteria in your septic tank, reducing its efficiency and leading to system issues.
• Keep the area clear of heavy vehicles and livestock. Ensure your septic tank and effluent disposal field are fenced off from livestock, horses, and other animals to prevent damage.
• Stay compliant with Auckland Council rules and protect the environment. Modern systems require servicing every six months, while older septic tanks should be cleaned every three years to meet regulations and prevent environmental contamination.

The cost of septic tank cleaning typically ranges from $500 to over $2,000, depending on several factors.

• Tank Accessibility: If the access lid is buried, extra digging is required, increasing the cost. Many people mistakenly believe septic tanks can be cleaned through the small “mushroom” vent—this is not the case.
• Distance to Truck Access: The closer our truck can park to your tank, the lower the cost. Limited access may require extra equipment or labour.
• Tank Contents: Hard-to-remove materials like wet wipes make cleaning more difficult, which can raise the price.

For the most accurate estimate, please provide details such as:

• Tank location
