Helping You Stay Ahead

A well-maintained septic tank is essential for the long-term performance of your system. Over time, solids accumulate in the tank and reduce its holding capacity. If left too long, this can cause overflows, foul odours, or even failure of the drainage field.

In Bangalow, where many homes and rural sites rely on septic systems, regular cleaning can prevent these issues and save you the cost and hassle of repairs. At Pootanky, we take care of the process from start to finish—efficiently removing waste, inspecting the condition of your tank, and offering practical advice where needed. Our service is quick, respectful of your property, and always completed with minimal disruption.

We also keep records to help you track when the next service is due, so you don’t have to guess. Customers appreciate our honest approach and consistent results. If you’re in Bangalow and unsure when your septic tank was last cleaned, it’s probably time to book in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does septic tank cleaning take?

For a typical residential system, septic tank cleaning takes around 45 minutes to an hour. Larger tanks or sites with access challenges may take longer. The process includes pumping out solids, a quick rinse, and inspecting the tank’s condition. Regular cleaning keeps service times short and avoids unnecessary complications.
What should I do to prepare for septic cleaning?

Ensure the access point to your tank is unlocked and easy to reach. Move any vehicles or obstacles that might block the truck’s path. If your tank lid is buried, you may need to uncover it ahead of time. Clear communication with your provider can help ensure a smooth and quick service.
Is it safe to use the plumbing right after cleaning?

Yes, you can use your plumbing system as normal immediately after a septic tank clean. The process only affects the tank itself and has no impact on indoor fixtures or water flow. In fact, cleaning restores full capacity to your system and reduces the risk of slow drainage or backup.
Does weather affect septic tank cleaning?

Extreme wet weather can impact access to your tank, especially on rural or sloped sites. Heavy rain may also make the ground unstable for trucks. However, most services can still proceed in light rain or overcast conditions. Booking ahead of the wet season is a good idea in regional areas like Bangalow.
