FAQs
Answers to common questions
How often should I get my septic tank emptied?
Most households need it done every 3–5 years, but it depends on the size of your tank, how many people are in the house, and what type of system you have. Grant can help you figure out what’s right for your setup.
What are the signs that my tank needs cleaning?
Look out for bad smells near your drains, gurgling pipes, slow drainage, or soggy patches near your tank. These are red flags that it’s time to call us in.
Can you service modern treatment systems too?
Yes! We’re experienced with all types of septic systems, including older setups and newer treatment systems. If in doubt, just ask.
Do I need to be home when the job’s done?
Not necessarily — as long as we have access to the tank and the job’s been confirmed, we can take care of it and follow up with any advice afterwards.
Where does the waste go?
All waste is transported to an approved disposal facility — handled safely, legally, and responsibly.
