Septic Tanks
Septic Tanks are located on the property underground and are calculated by house size.
- 1-2 bedroom home requires a 750 gallon tank
- 3 bedroom home requires a 1000 gallon tank
- 4 bedroom home requires a 1200 gallon tank
- 5-6 bedroom home requires a 1500 gallon tank
Septic Pump Out
We first locate the man hole on the property we then insert a hose down into the tank and begin the pumping process. After the tank is drained, we inspect the tank for damage such as leaks, damage to baffles, structural issues and cracks, which may cause seepage onto the property.
Septic Inspection & Troubleshooting
Understanding how your septic system works is very important. Action Septic offers insight as to what you have installed and its particular requirements. All our inspections are honoured by the Health Department, loans and most mortgage companies, which puts a step above.
It is recommended to have your septic field pumped out yearly. During your yearly cleaning of your septic field, inspections are done on the drain field, seepage beds, soil condition and absorption areas. Weather is also a big factor in determining how efficiently your septic system operates.

There are many aspects that make a septic system run smoothly. Action Septic has complete knowledge on all parts of a septic system, confidently completing any repairs that may be encountered.
Filter Cleaning
Filter cleaning is recommended once a year, newer systems usually just require cleaning, while some older systems may require replacement. Equipping your septic system with a septic filter alarm, will warn you when your filter needs to be cleaned. Your septic filter is designed to catch any material that would normally go into the drain field. It is very important to have your filter checked regularly, to ensure that solid waste is not dispersed into your seepage bed.
The filter is located on the outlet of the septic tank and cleaning of the filter takes minutes and is usually done with a hose. After the cleaning is done, it is then re-inserted back into the housing.
Automotive/Commercial Sump Pumping
When you trust in Action Septic you can be confident that your business needs are met with professional and timely approach. We service car washes, automotive sumps, car dealerships and all other commercial needs. Action Septic will work out a schedule that will best suit all your needs.
Holding Tanks
There are some circumstances where a septic field cannot be installed. In this case, your only option is a holding tank. Action Septic’s qualified team can best advise you on your options and offer advice on how to maximize your holding tanks usage length, saving you money.
