Parker Plumbing is a team of experienced plumbers that work throughout Ipswich. We handle all common household plumbing challenges, including septic tank plumbing, pump-out, maintenance and installation.
Septic tanks are a common solution in the \rural parts of Ipswich. If your property isn’t connected to council sewerage, chances are that there’s a septic tank on your land. That septic tank needs to be emptied, cleaned and serviced at regular intervals to ensure it lasts as long as possible.
Our team provides a comprehensive range of septic tank plumbing services, including:
Not all properties are suitable for septic systems. If you’re thinking about installing a septic system, give Parker Plumbing a call. We can assess your property and local requirements to help determine whether a septic system is right for you.
Septic tanks are a simple underground system that’s designed to manage and disperse wastewater from your home or business. While they’re basic devices, septic tanks need to be pumped out on a regular basis to prevent excess waste and damage to the system.
Parker Plumbing offers septic tank pump-out Ipswich wide. We’re equipped to perform regular pump-out, servicing and installation for all residential and commercial septic systems.
We typically recommend having your septic system pumped out every 2 years. You may need to have the system serviced more often if there are lots of people on your property, or if you are producing more waste than normal. If you’re unsure, get in touch with our plumbers and we can help you figure out how often your system needs to be emptied.
Our team offers septic tank plumbing, maintenance and pump-out services all over Ipswich and Brisbane. We work with residential and commercial clients, and we can look after septic systems of every size.
Your septic tank needs to be emptied every 1-2 years. In between pump-out, septic tanks need to be serviced to prevent the system from becoming damaged or clogged.
A damaged septic tank isn’t just a minor inconvenience – it can be a serious (and foul smelling) problem. Failing septic tanks become blocked. This can lead to problems like:

We work on septic systems all over Ipswich. During your septic plumbing service, we pump-out, clean and assess your septic tank. Our plumbers can locate and repair any damage, ensuring your day keeps flowing smoothly.
In extreme cases, we may recommend replacing your septic tank or system. While you can usually expect to get 50 years of use from a well-maintained septic tank, systems that aren’t looked after can fail prematurely.
Replacing a septic system is a major project, so we recommend booking a maintenance appointment every 12 months. Speak to our team about setting up a septic tank pump-out schedule. We’re happy to visit your home on a regular basis, empty the tank and make sure everything’s working properly.
A septic tank is an underground tank that’s used to capture wastewater from a home or business. Wastewater is allowed to settle and separate inside the tank, while useful bacteria break down excreta and solids into liquid form.
As the water in the tank settles and breaks down, it separates into three layers:
To avoid the tank filling up too quickly, the liquid layer (which is mostly clear and only contains a small amount of waste) is gradually drained via an underground dispersal field. This dispersal field is made up of perforated pipes that allow the water to drain into the soil. Dispersal fields are often planted with shallow-rooting plants (such as grasses and flowers) that help to manage the additional moisture in the ground.
When they’re working properly, septic tanks generate no mess and no smell, and they can last for decades with regular septic tank servicing. Parker Plumbing are septic experts, so we can install, maintain, pump-out and service your septic system, ensuring it provides years of trouble-free use.
