Gotta love when the snow starts disappearing That means we can get at the septic installs that weren’t complete emergencies We installed a new tank and partial liner in this sloping sand filter due to gypsum outcrops We will finish the seeding and drain trench Monday then onto the next install, more test pits being dug over the weekend Remember - We take shit off anyone

Its been steady most of the winter months Between pumping, Excavation and Septic work and a little snow plowing. Things are quickly booking up already for this... spring, and a couple of straggler jobs we didn’t get to complete from last fall. Remember- We take shit off anybody, we’re your 1 stop septic shop, designs and approvals, tank pumping/replacements, hydrojetting/camera services and anything in between. See more

Called to help out another contractor yesterday for an urgent hydrojetting job. A commercial building in Elmsdale with multiple tenants had no washroom facilities. We Hydrojetted the line approx 75 ft and cleared the blockage, we also cleared the entire line to like new condition of sludge from years of use. We had the line cleared in less than 2 hours instead of the Excavation Cobtractor needing to dig up the entire line and replace it. Here is how effective the jetter works in ideal conditions.

More hydrojetting drains, Same location, 2 days apart. Looks like a sag in the line that we will need to fix eventually. And replacing another deteriorated pump chamber with a new Infiltrator 540 Poly Pump chamber, and all new electrical, pump and alarm. We’ve been busy,busy. Pumping, Hydrojetting, and assembling more porta potties. We got a busy summer ahead with Septic field installs as well

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to help at the Park today and a MASSIVE thank you to Gilby Construction for the donation of fill and the use of the Bobcat which made moving the soil and gravel so much easier. We can’t thank everyone enough for your time and sweat.

Happy Sunday There’s a saying, you make hay while the sun shines, well the sun is shining, but we sure as heck ain’t making hay this morning Just for perspective the regular vac we usually run is -10 inHG (-5 psi) tank we are currently pumping has the truck running at -22 inHG (-10ps) this is actually the vacuum relief valve setting, that protects us from tank implosion and a real sh:t storm

Another concrete pump chamber that needed replacing, the alarm failed some time ago, the concrete was crumbling so badly in the tank it was being sucked into the pump and binding it up we removed the old pump chamber, installed an Infiltrator 540 with new pump, alarm and upgraded the electrical.

We have been closed since around noon out after what was transpiring and out of respect for what happened in our community I’d also like to take a moment to thank the people I work with, and alongside. I know there’s a reason we consider each other family when we need to lean on each other. Condolences to all of the families affected by this senseless tragedy.

WWAAYY down the beautiful Eastern Shore today, as far as Moser River pumping tanks and a Septic tank replacement while practicing social distancing. Know the best part ?, getting my mother in laws home baked cookies and a hot coffee !! Stay safe all. #Infiltrator... #SepticService #YoucallWepump See more

So in the interest of all small businesses looking out for each other and to keep giving back to the community, I’ve decided to have a weekly draw for clients who use any of my services. In return you’ll be entered into a draw for a gift card for another local business who supports my business, or I do business with regularly. These will be family run businesses, not chains etc. It’s important we all look out for each other, we will recover. Please share if able. Once i get the gift cards I’ll post the details. I will do a weekly draw for each week in April to start, I may do longer. Thanks for supporting local.

Had a busy week with repairs and pumping. I started a 10m sloping sand filter and of course it starts snowing..... never fails, doesn’t snow until I start a replacement field.... Thanks to great clients who understand and obey the social distancing requirements, oh and e-transfer helps too, stay safe everyone.
