Full septic service for homes on septic: tank pumping and cleaning, inspections, line cleaning and repair, pump and alarm repair, tank and drain field repair, new system installs, and 24/7 septic backups.
Septic tank pumping and cleaning
Solids build up in every septic tank. If they are not pumped out, they move into the drain field and clog it, and that is the most expensive septic repair there is. We pump and clean the tank, check the baffles and the inlet and outlet while it is open, and tell you when it will need doing again.
Septic inspections
We inspect the whole system: the tank, the lines, the pump and alarm, and the drain field. A camera inspection shows roots, sags and breaks in the line between the house and the tank. Inspections suit routine checks and buying or selling a home on septic, and you get written findings and next steps.
Septic line, pump and tank repair
We clear and jet blocked septic lines and repair or replace damaged sections between the house, the tank and the field. We repair and replace septic and effluent pumps, floats and alarms, and fix tank problems such as broken baffles, cracked lids and missing or damaged risers.
Drain field repair and new septic systems
When a drain field stops taking water you will see soggy ground, standing water or sewage odours over the field. We find out why, then repair or replace the field. When a system is at the end of its life, or a property needs a new one, we install new septic systems and replace failed ones.
Septic backups, 24/7
Sewage coming up a floor drain or a toilet that won't go down is an emergency. A plumber answers the phone 24/7. Stop running water, then call (604) 870-1442.

What our neighbours say
“I was having a problem with my storm sewer not draining. Harry and his team came over and found the problem. Harry was always open about the telling me what was needed, what work was optional and what was not needed. I always knew the cost of every part of the job they were doing and was never surprised with an unexpected extra fee or expense. The job was finished in an acceptable amount of time. I am happy with choosing Mr. Plunger.”
