Septic tanks
JB’s provide prompt, reliable, compliant service for all onsite waste water treatment plants and traditional septic tank systems.
Septic tanks fill gradually overtime treating solids and separating liquids. Regular maintenance is important to ensure your system works efficiently. Here at JB’s we recommend a 2-3-year cleaning cycle for cleaning. This frequency can vary, dependent on the number of people in the household, the size of system and drainage.
What we do
- Locate the septic tank
- Expose the tank to allow 100% reliable cleaning
- Check the content/water level for soak pit performance
- Remove contents; 1. surface crust 2. Main body of water 3. Activated sludge layer
- Clean the filters (if applicable)
- Check condition of inlet/outlet pipe
- Check to ensure there is no backflow
- Reinstate soil & grass to a satisfactory high standard
- Advise customer of any site specific concerns (Repairs and preventative measures can be organised upon request)
Frequently asked questions

- Overbearing smell
- Overflowing at the gulley trap or mushroom
- Noticeable wet areas around drainage field
How often should I have my tank cleaned?
We recommend a 2-3-year cycle, this is dependent on the number of people in each household, size of the system and drainage.

Are you able to do reports?
Yes we do. If you are looking to sell your current property or are doing renovations, our team can inspect your septic tank system to see if there are any problems or damages. This information is presented into a report. Please note there is an additional administration fee.
How can I improve the performance of your septic tank system?
With minor adjustments, you can help improve the performance of your septic tank system by:
- Avoid pouring harsh chemicals such as bleach down the sink/drain as this kills the healthy bacteria living in the septic tank
- Avoid pouring fats down the sink – this reduces risk of fat build up ultimately reducing risk of blockage
- In poor soakage areas or if the ground is saturated during the wet season, reduce water usage (ie. decrease loads of washing, decrease shower time etc) to not overwhelm the soak pit/drainage fields
