Commercial support in Armadale
The unsewered properties through the foothills and the semi rural pockets around Armadale need septic tanks and leach drains pumped out on a regular cycle, and some of these systems are old enough that the original layout is no longer documented anywhere. In the commercial centre and the light industrial estates the work is the usual mix of grease traps for food businesses, stormwater pits and drainage maintenance.
The practical difficulty in the foothills is the same as through the Hills proper: long driveways, tanks set well back from anywhere a truck can park, and lids that have disappeared under later landscaping. We carry extra hose for the distance, and a drain camera is often the quickest way to work out what an older system is actually doing before anything is dug up.

Armadale FAQs
How do I know whether my property is on septic or sewer?
If you receive a sewerage charge from Water Corporation you are connected. If you do not, and there is a lid or an inspection cover in the yard, you are almost certainly on a septic system.
What are the signs a septic tank needs pumping?
Slow draining fixtures, gurgling, odour around the tank or leach drain, and soft or unusually green wet patches in the lawn above the drain. Any of those is worth acting on before it becomes a failure.
Can you locate a tank if I cannot find the lid?
Usually yes. It is a common situation on older properties where landscaping has covered the access point.
