Septic tank pumping and portable toilet rentals.

Why Should We Pump Our Septic Tanks?

Avoid costly repairs. If you wait too long it could be costly to repair (not to mention digging up your lawn).
It could stop working at the most inconvenient time (middle of the winter, middle of a party, etc.).
Save the environment – a full septic tank could saturate and pollute the surrounding area, including creeks, ponds and lakes.
Tanks close to the surface could freeze during the winter months if not used regularly.
Septic tanks not used regularly also tend to fill quicker, as the bacterial action stops working when not used. (Part time users should have their tanks pumped just as often as full time users)
Full tanks could give off a foul smell, affecting the neighbourhood.
Your septic system is designed to last a very long time if maintained properly. Tanks should be pumped every 4 years.

Simple Maintenance Tips

Don’t put baking oils down drains or into toilets.
Avoid putting women’s hygiene products down the toilet.
Avoid the overuse of anti-bacterial soaps (as it slows down on the bacterial action).
Avoid using salt in water softeners, as it tends to corrode concrete.
Have your tank pumped every 3 – 5 years for many years of trouble free service.
