    Why Septic Systems Need Regular Cleaning

    Septic tanks store liquid waste that, over time, becomes sludge. Blockages, trench failures, foul odours, evacuating effluent, and expensive repairs are caused when too much sludge builds up.

    Our team at Lee’s Environmental removes this sludge and evaluates your septic tank system. This cleaning ensures that the septic system functions as it should. 

    Why Septic Systems Need Regular Cleaning

    What We Do During a Septic Tank Clean

    We don’t just pump and go. Our service includes:

    • Full tank pump-out using vacuum trucks
    • Internal wash-down with high-pressure hoses
    • Removal of solids and tree roots where needed
    • Inspection of tank structure, baffles, and access points
    • Refill to prevent tank movement
    • Reporting on any signs of wear or system issues


    Our goal is to leave your system in better condition than we found it.

    How Often Should a Septic Tank Be Cleaned?

    A septic tank cleaning should occur every three to five years, depending on the number of people frequently using the system. 

    The three to five rule works well for the average four person household, but does not translate when the number of frequent users goes past ten. 

    We recommend that you contact a team of experts like us at Lee’s Environmental if you are unsure of the state of your septic tank system.

    Frequently asked questions:

    How often should my septic tank be cleaned in Australia?

    Most septic tanks should be cleaned every three to five years, depending on household size, tank capacity, and water usage.

    Common signs include slow-draining sinks or toilets, gurgling pipes, sewage smells around your property, or pooling water near the tank area.

    Pumping removes the liquid and solid waste from the tank, while cleaning involves a more thorough process that includes removing sludge build-up and inspecting the entire system. Regular cleaning is key to maintaining long-term performance.
