Tank cleaning and rural plumbing across the Franklin district
Franklin's geography means most properties outside the main towns rely on rainwater tanks — and those tanks need looking after. From the dairy country around Bombay and Buckland to the coastal blocks at Karioitahi and Pollok, the patterns repeat: sediment building up year after year, old concrete tanks starting to crack at the seam, filter and UV systems quietly going out of service.
We work the whole district every week. Hank has been doing tank cleans, concrete repairs and rural pump work across Franklin for over 35 years, which means very few jobs are unfamiliar and almost nothing is too remote. Lifestyle block at Aka Aka? Done regularly. Multi-tank setup on a farm out Glenbrook? Same. Older bach in Waiuku that hasn't had the tank touched since the 90s? Every other month.
We don't charge a Franklin travel premium — the district is our patch, not a callout zone. Phone with rough details (tank type, rough size, location) and we'll give you a real estimate before we come out.
What we do across Franklin

Franklin FAQ
Do you cover the whole Franklin district?
Yes. From Bombay in the south-east to Awhitu in the west, Drury and Papakura in the north, and everywhere in between. If you're inside the old Franklin district boundary, you're on the patch.
Do you charge a travel fee for further-out properties?
No. Franklin is our regular service area — we're on those roads weekly. Quotes are based on the actual work, not where you live in the district.
What about properties on bore water or mixed bore/rainwater?
Common in Franklin and we work with both. Plenty of properties have a bore for irrigation and a rainwater tank for the house. We can clean the rainwater tank, service pumps and filters for either supply, and advise on switchovers.
How quickly can you get out?
Most non-urgent jobs scheduled within a week. Urgent (tank run dry, leak in active use)? Call 021 781 618 - we'll do our best for same- or next-day.
