“Great service from a very professional team..”
TJM Plumbing offers specialised equipment and capability for septic, sewer and earthworks projects across residential, commercial, industrial, rural and civil sectors. Ask us about equipment hire in Lismore and throughout the Northern Rivers.
Getting earthworks or septic projects right involves more than just moving dirt — safety, environmental responsibility, and compliance with industry standards like Dial Before You Dig and NSW Master Plumbers Association guidelines all matter.
For you, this means we can schedule your job faster and more reliably – no frustrating delays waiting around for hire gear to become available or dealing with poorly maintained machines.
What’s the benefit for you? Faster project starts, dependable scheduling (so you can plan other trades or activities), consistent quality, and often better cost control, as we don’t pass on unpredictable hire fees.
Plus, our experienced operators know their machines inside out – safety and getting the job done right are always top priorities on every single job, protecting your property and our team.
Don’t let tricky site access, challenging terrain or the need for precision work slow down your project. We get it – Northern Rivers properties, from suburban blocks to sprawling farms, can present unique hurdles. That’s why TJM Plumbing has invested in versatile machinery, including tight-access equipment — a purpose-built fleet designed to tackle these conditions head-on, no matter how tough the access or terrain.
Our comprehensive fleet includes:
Our 1.7t machine handles precise digging in tight-access spots. The larger 4t & 14t models provide power for bigger earthworks in Lismore – site cuts, trenching, dam work, bulk removal.
A real workhorse for site cleanup, material spreading, and precise levelling/finishing on landscaping or building pads, especially in confined spaces.
This clever tech takes the guesswork out of pipe problems. We perform non-invasive visual inspections beneath any property to accurately diagnose blockages or damage without digging.
Blasts through stubborn blockages (roots, grease, waste) in sewer and stormwater lines of all sizes using high-pressure water, restoring flow quickly.
From detailed excavation and site prep to advanced drain diagnostics with our CCTV and jetter, our equipment handles it all. See how these capabilities fit into our complete portfolio of Plumbing Services.

Our equipment is purpose-built for a wide range of earthworks and underground service tasks. This includes specific jobs like digging foundations and service trenches for new builds, detailed excavation for septic tanks or sewer connections, bulk earthmoving for commercial site preparation or farm dams, land clearing and precise levelling. We service residential, commercial, industrial, rural and civil sector projects with the right machinery for each.
Yes, definitely. We understand tight access is a major challenge in the Northern Rivers. Our 1.7-tonne mini excavator and SVL 75 skid steer are specifically selected for their ability to navigate narrow pathways and confined work areas common in home renovations or landscaping projects. We have the tight-access equipment to get into those tricky spots.
You always get the full package with TJM. Our service includes both the appropriate, well-maintained machine and a fully licensed, experienced operator. We manage the entire process using our owned and operated machinery, ensuring safety, quality workmanship and better control over project scheduling.
It’s a highly valuable diagnostic tool. The CCTV sewer camera allows us to perform a detailed visual inspection inside your pipes without any destructive digging. We can accurately locate the exact position and nature of problems like tree root intrusion, pipe cracks, collapses or stubborn blockages. This eliminates guesswork, prevents unnecessary excavation, and leads directly to faster, more cost-effective repairs using the right sewer equipment.
While DIY hire is an option, using TJM for your earthworks project provides key advantages. You get the complete, professional package for your project: the correct machine for the specific task plus a skilled operator who understands local soil conditions, safety regulations and potential hazards (like underground services).
We manage transport, fuel, operation and site considerations, preventing costly mistakes, potential damage or project delays often associated with inexperience. It ensures a professional, safe and properly completed job.
Don’t risk delays or mistakes. For reliable septic, sewer & earthworks solutions, call TJM Plumbing today at 0402 311 821.
