There is a smell coming from my drains. How can I fix this?

Quite possibly, your tank needs to be pumped out. The most important aspect to keeping a healthy, odourless tank is keeping good bacteria going in your tank. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals as this kills off good bacteria, as do antibiotics and cancer treatment drugs. You can help build your good bacteria up by flushing natural yoghurt down your toilet or using commercially available products, such as Actizyme (available from most supermarket and hardware stores) to boost the good bacteria.

Remove Sludge & Prevent Backup

Expert Sullage Services

Are you dealing with a build-up of sludge in your grey water tank? Want to clear your tank before you’re stuck fixing a costly backup? Well, you know who to call! At Gympie Septic Pump Outs, we pump grey water tanks in Gympie and surrounding areas.

Over time, sludge will naturally start to accumulate at the bottom of your grey water tank. The sludge is a combination of dirt and silt particles that have been removed from the water. Leaving the sludge to build up isn’t good for the tank as it can block the pump, causing it to breakdown.

We recommend having your grey water tank cleaned every six-to-twelve months. To organise a grey water cleaning service, get in touch with our team on 0429 779 927.

What Is Grey Water?

Grey water, also known as sullage, is any wastewater on your property that is not contaminated by human waste. The water is generated from a range of sources other than your toilet—such as bathroom sinks and dishwashers.

Treating grey water is much easier than treating sewage, as the water does not contain anywhere near as many impurities. Many commercial properties and homeowners actually re-use their grey water for landscape irrigation!

We treat sullage throughout Gympie and out to Kilkivan, Cooroy, Doonan and Maleny. Contact us today for a free quote!
