Question 1

How often should I have my septic tank pumped?

Accepted Answer

Septic tanks should be pumped on average every 3 years, depending on how many people in a household and the tank size.
At G.King Septics we will send you a reminder prior to your next maintenance service, so you can stay on top of your cleaning schedule. Regular maintenance keeps your septic tank flowing freely, saving you from unexpected backups and repairs.

Question 2

How do I know if my septic tank needs to be pumped?

Accepted Answer

Signs that your septic tank needs to be pumped include:
Strong sewage smells coming from your domestic septic tank 
Unpleasant smells coming up through your toilet or drains in your home 
Slow draining bathrooms or backflow 
The toilet is slow to flush or starts to fill up after flushing 
Gurgling sounds in drains
You haven’t had your septic pumped in 3 or more years 
Wet ground around septic tank

For instances when your toilet is blocked or even overflowing, G.King Septics offer an emergency 24/7 services to help get you out of a smelly and messy situation!

Question 3

What should I avoid flushing down the toilet?

Accepted Answer

Avoid flushing non-biodegradable materials like hair, diapers, cigarette butts, matches and feminine hygiene products. Also be weary of “flushable wipes”…we don’t recommend flushing them at all.

Question 4

How long will it take?

If the septic drain is able to be located right away, a standard job takes around 30 minutes.

Question 6

What measures do you take to ensure environmentally responsible waste management?

Accepted Answer

We prioritise environmentally responsible waste disposal. Our vacuum trucks transport waste to the closest dumping sites which are all regulated by local health departments, water boards and the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). As an approved EPA waste transporter, we're committed to meeting stringent environmental standards from the time we collect waste through to dumping.
