Stormwater Pit, Tank & OSD Cleaning

Sludge, silt, and debris cleaned out properly — not skimmed. We deep clean stormwater pits, OSD tanks, retention systems, and gross pollutant traps across Sydney, and hand you the photo evidence and tipping dockets to prove it.

Our Specialty

Sludge and Debris, Cleaned Out to the Base

Stormwater assets fail slowly — a little more silt every storm until capacity is gone. Our lane is the pit, tank, or trap that's been left too long: heavy buildup, difficult access, and a proper deep clean to bring it back.

Years of Silt & Sediment

Pits and tanks fill with silt, leaf litter, and construction runoff until they stop doing their job. We clean to the base — walls, benching, and sumps scraped and jet-washed, not just the water pumped off the top.

Debris-Choked Systems

Rubble, rubbish, and compacted sediment in OSD tanks and GPTs — vacuumed out and the system restored to its design capacity.

Hard Access

Underground tanks below buildings and basements, tight chambers, assets a long way from truck access — long hose runs and confined-space certified crews get us in.

How It Works

Our Stormwater Cleaning Process

Thorough cleaning with compliant disposal — and the photos to prove it.

01

Site Inspection

Assess the asset, sludge and debris levels, and access. Confirm disposal requirements and any site-specific constraints.

02

Safety Setup

Establish exclusion zones, complete SWMS, and confirm confined space requirements if applicable.

03

Sludge & Debris Removal

Standing water, sludge, silt, and debris vacuumed out — cleaned to the base, not skimmed.

04

High-Pressure Wash

Walls, benching, and floors jet-washed to remove built-up residue and restore full flow capacity.

05

Compliant Disposal

All waste transported under our EPA licence to a licensed facility. Tipping dockets provided.

06

Photo Evidence & Recommendations

Before-and-after photos of the asset, an honest read on its condition, and a realistic servicing recommendation — one-off or recurring.

Common Questions

Stormwater Cleaning FAQs

Our pits haven't been cleaned in years — is that a problem for you?

No — that's the work we're built for. Heavily silted pits and tanks take proper equipment and time: full extraction, scrape-down, and a high-pressure wash back to bare concrete. We'll also tell you honestly if anything is damaged.

Can you clean OSD tanks under buildings and basements?

Yes. Below-ground and basement OSD tanks are core work for us — long hose runs from the truck, confined-space certified crews, and the patience to do tight chambers properly.

How do we know the work was actually done?

You see it. We photograph the asset before and after — sludge levels, benching, outlets — and provide tipping dockets for every load removed.

One-off catch-up or recurring servicing?

Both. Plenty of our stormwater work is a one-off deep clean on a neglected system. Recurring servicing is available where your stormwater management plan or asset condition calls for it.
