When Should Sewer Tanks Be Cleaned?
Sewer tanks don’t need frequent cleaning, but regular maintenance is essential to avoid serious issues. Here are some common signs your tank may need attention:
- Strong sewage odours near drains or outside
- Overflow or pooling near the tank area
- Gurgling noises from toilets and sinks
- Slow or sluggish drainage
- High-level alarms sounding (if fitted)
Most residential sewer tanks should be cleaned every 1 to 3 years depending on usage. If you’re unsure, our team can assess your system and recommend a suitable cleaning schedule.
Our Sewer Tank Cleaning Process
Citywide Plumbing follows a safe and efficient process to clean your tank and restore system function:
1. Initial Inspection
We start by inspecting the tank for blockages, scum build-up, or mechanical issues. This helps us plan the cleaning method and identify any additional maintenance needs.
2. Pump-Out and Waste Removal
Using powerful pump equipment, we remove all liquid and solid waste from the tank. We also clear any settled sludge and debris from the base and walls.
3. System Flush and Clean
After the tank is emptied, we flush the system to remove residue and prevent future blockages. If your tank includes a pump, we inspect and test it for correct operation.
4. Responsible Disposal
All waste is transported and disposed of through approved treatment facilities, meeting Auckland’s environmental guidelines.

Alongside cleaning, Citywide Plumbing offers maintenance services to keep your waste system operating reliably:
- Pump checks and repairs
