Services
Septic tank pumping
Our licensed professionals perform comprehensive septic tank pumping to remove accumulated solids and scum layers. This essential maintenance prevents system failures by eliminating materials that could otherwise damage drain fields. Using high-capacity vacuum tankers with precision pumping equipment, we ensure complete tank evacuation while following strict environmental disposal protocols approved by the Ontario Ministry of Environment.
Catch basin cleaning
We specialize in catch basin maintenance using pressure washer equipped vacuum systems that clear blockages in municipal and commercial drainage infrastructure. Our Ontario-certified technicians remove debris buildup from parking lot basins and underground lines using high-pressure water jets combined with vacuum extraction. This prevents property flooding during heavy rainfall while maintaining compliance with local waste management regulations through proper disposal methods.
Water reservoir sanitization
Our certified team performs complete water reservoir maintenance by removing sediment buildup and sanitizing all interior surfaces. Using dedicated equipment with separate sanitation protocols, we ensure no cross-contamination occurs during cleaning operations. Our confined space entry-certified operators follow strict safety procedures while removing biofilm deposits and organic matter from municipal and commercial water storage facilities to maintain drinking water safety standards.
Bio-Clean treatment
We provide NSF-certified Bio-Clean septic system treatments that use natural bacteria and enzymes to break down organic waste. This environmentally friendly solution digests protein-based residues, grease, and fibrous materials that conventional chemicals cannot remove. Regular application helps maintain optimal bacterial balance in septic tanks while reducing the need for frequent pumping by efficiently processing organic solids before they accumulate.
System inspections
Our comprehensive system evaluations include tank condition assessments, baffle inspections, and drain field testing to identify potential issues. Using digital inspection tools, we examine internal components for corrosion or cracks while analyzing effluent levels and scum accumulation. Clients receive detailed maintenance recommendations and pumping schedules based on our findings, helping prevent costly repairs through early problem detection and proactive maintenance planning.
Questions
How often should septic tanks be pumped?
Most residential septic tanks require pumping every 3-5 years depending on usage. Commercial systems may need more frequent service. We determine optimal intervals during inspections based on tank size and household occupancy.
What is Bio-Clean treatment?
Bio-Clean contains specialized bacteria and enzymes that digest organic waste in septic systems. These naturally occurring microorganisms break down proteins, grease, and fibrous materials more effectively than conventional chemicals while maintaining safe bacterial balances.
Are your technicians certified?
All our technicians hold Ontario Ministry of Environment certifications for sewage and catch basin waste handling. Our staff also maintain confined space entry qualifications and $2 million liability insurance coverage for commercial projects.
Do you service municipal projects?
Yes, we work with municipalities on catch basin maintenance, storm drain clearing, and water reservoir sanitation projects. Our licensed equipment includes dedicated vehicles for municipal water infrastructure maintenance across Southern Ontario.
How do you handle emergency situations?
We prioritize urgent septic failures and provide same-day service for critical issues. Customers experiencing backups or overflows should call our emergency line at 519-746-3877 for immediate assistance during business hours.
