Protect Your System Long-Term

In Lismore, septic systems are common across both residential and rural properties. Without regular cleaning, these systems can overflow, leading to foul odours, plumbing issues or environmental contamination.


Over time, solids accumulate in the tank and reduce its working volume. When left unchecked, this build-up can damage your drainage field and lead to expensive repairs. At Pootanky, we provide a full cleaning service using high-powered vacuum equipment to remove all waste efficiently. We also check for signs of system wear, including outlet blockages or unusually thick sludge levels.


If there’s something you should know about your system, we’ll tell you—no upselling, just straightforward advice. Our team is mindful of your schedule and always leaves the site clean and tidy once the job is complete. With regular servicing, you can keep your septic system operating reliably for years.


For homeowners looking for dependable septic tank cleaning, we offer a service that’s as practical as it is professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know when to schedule septic tank cleaning?

    Typical cleaning intervals range from every three to five years, but signs like slow drains, strong smells or gurgling pipes can indicate it’s time to act sooner. If your household has more people or heavy water usage, you may need more frequent servicing. Keeping track of previous cleans helps avoid surprises.

  • Can a full septic tank cause damage to the system?

    Yes, improperly disposed of liquid waste can leach into soil and contaminate groundwater, posing serious environmental and health risks. This is why strict regulations on liquid waste disposal and treatment exist in Australia.

  • What happens during a septic tank clean-out?

    A vacuum truck removes sludge and scum from the tank through an access point. The process usually includes a rinse and a basic inspection to check inlet/outlet flow. Waste is then sealed and transported to a licensed treatment facility for proper disposal. The service typically takes under an hour for residential systems.

  • Does septic tank cleaning impact the environment?

    Properly handled, septic cleaning is a safe and environmentally responsible process. Waste is removed using sealed equipment and taken to EPA-approved facilities for treatment. This helps prevent pollution of local waterways and soil systems. Delaying cleaning, on the other hand, can lead to overflows that contaminate your yard and the surrounding environment.
