Prevent septic system disasters with our septic tank inspection services in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, and the surrounding areas. We will pump your septic tank to remove any sludge build-up, inspect the inlet and outlet baffles, and check on the condition of your tank itself. We will also inspect your weeping bed for noticeable problems. Finally, we will inform you how often your tank and system should be pumped and inspected and schedule the next pumping. During our work, if we find that your tank is damaged, we also offer septic tank replacements and weeping bed repairs.

On-site treatment and disposal

What Is a Septic System?

A septic system is an on-site treatment and disposal system buried in the ground that consists of a tank and soil absorption area. The purpose of the septic tank is to receive household wastes such as laundry, bathwater, and body wastes. Solids settle to the bottom while grease and soaps rise to the top.

Bacterial action

How a septic tank works

Bacterial action decomposes part of the solids and grease as the liquid passes into a leaching system. Inorganic and hard-to-decompose material remains and gradually fills the tank until the solids pass through and plug the leaching system. With routine cleaning, septic tank maintenance, and being careful of what goes into your septic system, it can last for many years.

Prevent Problems

You can prevent problems by never disposing of the following in your septic system:

Avoided at all costs

Why solids in the weeping bed cause septic failure

Solid material overflowing into the absorption area, or weeping field, should be avoided at all costs. When solids overflow, they clog the soil pores and cause septic systems to fail. Bacterial deficiency and lack of sludge removal can cause this and could result in an overflow.

Home care products

Why healthy bacteria keep your septic tank working

For a septic tank to work correctly, bacteria must be active. Bacteria are present in many household wastes, but many home care products, such as toilet cleaners, detergents, and bleach, can destroy them. We have found that Bio-Clean® is a great product to use as a supplement because it contains millions of helpful bacteria necessary for the health of your septic system.
