Services
Septic Tank Cleaning
Our comprehensive septic tank cleaning service includes complete removal of solids, liquids, and scum buildup using high-capacity vacuum trucks. We follow strict Alberta Health Services guidelines for waste disposal and recommend annual cleanings for standard residential systems. Our technicians inspect tank integrity and mechanical components during each service to prevent future issues.
Potable Water Delivery
We provide certified potable water delivery for residential cisterns, construction sites, and industrial operations using CSA-approved transport vehicles. Our fleet handles large-volume orders for pool fills, ice rinks, and emergency water supply with 24/7 availability. All water quality meets Alberta Environment standards for safe consumption.
Grease Trap Cleaning
Our industrial-grade grease trap cleaning service removes FOG (fats, oils, grease) buildup while complying with municipal wastewater regulations. We use specialized equipment to extract waste materials and provide proper disposal documentation. Regular maintenance schedules help businesses avoid costly sewer backups and environmental fines.
Sewer Video Inspections
Advanced camera technology allows us to perform non-invasive sewer line inspections for accurate problem identification. Our technicians analyze pipe condition, locate blockages, and assess structural integrity without excavation. Digital reports with video evidence help customers understand repair requirements and prioritize maintenance.
Mound System Maintenance
Specialized maintenance for elevated septic disposal systems includes pump testing, filter cleaning, and drain field inspection. We service alarm systems, check distribution lines, and perform controlled vacuum drawback procedures to maintain system efficiency. Annual maintenance extends the lifespan of mound systems in cold climate regions.
