How often should my system be pumped out? Can you locate and access my tank if I am not sure where it is? Do you service the brand of treatment system I have? What warning signs should I watch for between services? Do you provide a service record for council compliance?

Many Tasman and Golden Bay properties use secondary treatment systems with specific servicing schedules. Coastal and high-water-table areas may need pumped or raised systems. Council consent is required for new and altered on-site wastewater systems.
