Whether you’re looking for a scheduled maintenance plan or a one-off emergency septic tank emptying, we’re ready to help. Our flexible approach ensures you get the service you need, exactly when you need it.
Cesspit Cleaning & Cesspit Maintenance and Repair Services
At DrainBoss, we offer end-to-end septic and cesspit services designed to keep your system fully operational and compliant. From emptying and cleaning to installation and repair, our experienced team provides efficient, hassle-free solutions tailored to your property.
Septic Tank Emptying & Desludging
Our septic tank pumping services remove built-up sludge and waste from your tank to restore optimal function. Using high-powered vacuum tanker services, our engineers carry out safe and thorough cleaning with minimal disruption to your site.
We recommend having your septic tank emptied at least once a year, though frequency may vary depending on household size, system capacity, and usage. Regular servicing helps prevent blockages, odours, and potential system failure.
To ensure a smooth visit, please make sure our tankers can access the site and that the tank lids are exposed and ready for lifting. If the access is restricted or requires additional labour, this may incur extra charges. Let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
Cesspit Emptying
Unlike septic tanks, cesspits are sealed units with no outlet, meaning all waste accumulates and must be removed regularly. As a result, cesspits require more frequent emptying – often monthly or even more frequently depending on use.
Our team is equipped to handle even the largest cesspits, up to 8,000 gallons in capacity. We remove all liquid and solid waste efficiently and transport it to a licensed disposal facility.
Septic Tank Installation & Repairs
We provide professional installation of new septic tank systems, including Klargester septic tank emptying solutions and treatment plants. These are ideal for properties without access to mains drainage and are designed to treat waste safely before discharge.
Our engineers also carry out repairs and replacements for damaged or underperforming tanks. This includes repairing cracks, replacing worn components, or upgrading old systems to meet current regulations.
Where required, we also restore soakaway drainage fields to ensure that treated effluent is absorbed and dispersed properly into the ground.
Vacuum Tanker Services
DrainBoss operates a fleet of fully equipped vacuum tankers to handle all waste removal tasks. From compact 1,200-litre tankers for tight-access locations to large 6,000-gallon vehicles for commercial work, we have the right equipment for the job.
We collect and dispose of a wide range of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, including sewage, grease, floodwater, sludge, landfill leachate, and interceptors. All waste is transported by licensed drivers to certified Environmental Agency facilities for safe disposal.

Septic Tank Services from DrainBoss Plumbing & Drainage
To help us provide a fast, safe and efficient septic tank emptying service, we kindly ask that you make a few simple preparations before our engineers arrive.

Make sure your septic tank lids are exposed and free from earth or debris. Where possible, ensure the lid can be lifted by one person.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
We charge on volume of waste removed, a usual domestic property of 1000 gallons is £160.00.
Ideally you should have your system emptied every 9 to 18 months but several factors should be considered when deciding how often your septic tank needs to be serviced and or emptied . You must take into account the age of the system, the number of occupants in your home, the amount of laundry being done in the home. Every system is different. What is right for your system may not be the same for your neighbour’s tank.
There can be odours immediately after the septic pumping service, but they should not last for any length of time after The odours are usually outside and will disperse a few hours after the septic pumping service. If you are experiencing odours in your home, this could be a sign of the system backing up.
Possibly. If your septic has not been emptied in more than 6 months, we would want to empty the septic tank first. If the problem persists, experienced engineer will then attend to carry out high pressure jetting of the system.
A sewage treatment plant treats the waste so the waste water leaving the treatment plant is clean.A septic tank simply separates it – therefor, the waste water that leaves a sewage treatment plant is cleaner than that leaving a septic tank.
A septic tank is an underground chamber constructed of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic, and domestic sewage flows through it for basic treatment. Settling and anaerobic processes reduce solids and organics. Septic tank systems are a type of simple onsite sewage system. They are used in areas that are not connected to a sewerage system, such as rural areas.
During a septic tank empty your engineer will note the overall condition of the system and the levels in tank. Checking the levels will assist the engineer to understand if there is a potential problem with the system. Then, he/she will pump the entire septic tank down, removing all of the liquid and solid waste. Once he is done pumping he will check the inlet and outlet tees to the tank to ensure they are still intact and functioning effectively. Any filter present will be cleaned. If you are home at the time of service (not required, but if you are) he will ask you to flush your toilets so he can make sure everything is flowing properly. Once the service is done he will return the cover and the job is complete.
