The best septic tank is one you don't have to think about, one that functions dependably and well. Our job is making sure you don't have to think about your septic tank. We do so by providing reliable septic tank maintenance and repair.

50 years of serviceThe average septic tank should be pumped out once every three years. If you have a large family with a heavy water usage, then we recommend every two years. A common argument against this is from homeowners with only 1 or 2 occupants who state that it's hardly used and not full at the end of these three years. True, it may not be full, but after a certain amount of time the solids at the bottom, which we pump out, become really solid and can be difficult to vacuum out. Unfortunately, due to the trouble this causes, this is reflected in the pumping cost.

We service at your scheduled intervals - yearly, every 2 years, or every 3 years - in your requested month. We notify you when your time has come, and we group our customers by area.

Request a courtesy call and we will make every effort to contact you when your septic system is due for recommended maintenance. This is a courtesy that we offer to our customers in addition to the maintenance booklet that is provided.

Septic Tank Pumping Ottawa

A septic system is an onsite wastewater treatment system that processes and purifies household waste (effluent). The effluent consists of blackwater (toilet wastes) and grey water (kitchen, sink, bathtub, and laundry wastes).

A septic system has two components: a septic tank and a leachfield or drainfield. Primary treatment occurs in the septic tank, where bacteria digest organic materials in the wastewater. The effluent then flows into the leachfield for secondary treatment.

Septic Pumping Tips

  • We strongly recommend that you do not go any longer than three years.
  • If you have a large family with a heavy water usage, then we recommend every two years.
  • The best way to maintain this schedule is with our pumping program - the Call Me Back™ system.

Portable Toilet Services Ottawa

We checked out all of our suppliers before we committed to our relationship with Polyportables. We wanted to make sure that we could offer our clients the best portable sanitation units available and we believe we have found it.

Portable Sanitation Tips

  • One portable sanitation unit provides approx. two hundred (200) uses.
  • We recommend 1 handwash station for roughly every 6 units.
  • You should have the sinks outside if possible to alleviate the line-ups.

grease trap

Grease Trap Servicing Ottawa

The most common cause of kitchen drains backing up is a poorly maintained grease trap system. Our approach is to, not only empty the grease trap body, but also examine and clean the inlet and outlet pipes, as required.

The solution is a regular grease trapping maintenance schedule that can prevent troublesome drain back up which causes kitchen shut down and, therefore, loss of revenue.

Our premium service includes removing the lid, pumping out food and grease waste from the grease trap, inspect both inlet and outlet pipes and removing any obvious blockages (i.e. grease, stir sticks, etc.), returning the lid.

Grease Trap Service Tips

  • It is highly recommended that only a licensed hauler remove grease trap waste.
  • Get on a regular grease trap removal program.
  • Do not put any fryer grease down sinks. Put screens in sinks to collect any particles such as corn, dough, chili, and other such products.
