If you're experiencing any of the following, don't wait — call us now. Delay can turn a manageable problem into serious property damage.
Your septic alarm is going off — this means the tank is at or above its high-water level. The system needs immediate attention before sewage backs up into your home.
Sewage backing up into drains, toilets, or basement fixtures is a serious health hazard. The tank is likely full or the pump has failed — you need a pump-out right away.
If your pump has stopped, sewage can't move out of the tank. This leads to overflow quickly. A pump failure needs same-day diagnosis and often a pump replacement.
Visible pooling of sewage or wastewater on your property is a regulatory and environmental emergency. Stop all water use immediately and call us.
A full tank or system malfunction often produces strong sulphur or sewage odours inside or outside your home — a warning sign the system needs service now.
When all drains in the house are slow simultaneously, the septic tank may be full or the outlet is blocked — not a plumbing problem, a septic problem.
Our emergency process is designed to move fast and protect your property from further damage.
Visible pooling of sewage or wastewater on your property is a regulatory and environmental emergency. Stop all water use immediately and call us.
We mobilize our Kenworth T370 vacuum truck and get on the road to your property as quickly as possible.
Our licensed technician assesses the situation — tank level, pump status, alarm condition, and overflow risk — and advises you immediately.
We pump out the tank, repair the pump or alarm, and leave your system stable. We'll recommend next steps if further service is needed.

We dispatch our 3,000-gallon Kenworth vacuum truck to pump your tank immediately, relieving pressure on your system before backup or overflow occurs.

Our technicians diagnose pump failures on site. If the pump needs replacing, we carry common pump models and can often complete the installation same visit.

We respond to high-level alarms — investigating the cause, silencing the alarm, and getting your system back within normal operating range.

Faulty floats and control panels are a common cause of pump failures. We troubleshoot and replace failed electrical components to restore normal operation.

When sewage is backing up into the home or onto the property, we pump out the system and assess the cause to prevent it from happening again.

Not sure what's wrong? We inspect the full system — tank, pump, alarm, floats, and distribution — to identify the problem and give you a clear diagnosis and options.
