Services
Septic Tank Pumping
Our septic tank pumping service removes accumulated solids and scum to maintain system efficiency. Using high-capacity vacuum trucks, we service residential, commercial, and municipal systems across Nova Scotia. Regular maintenance prevents backups and extends system lifespan while complying with environmental regulations.
Hydro-Excavation
Hydro-excavation uses high-pressure water and vacuum systems for precise, non-destructive digging. We employ this method for utility locating, potholing, and pipeline maintenance across industrial and municipal projects. This technique minimizes environmental impact while ensuring worker safety and regulatory compliance.
Portable Toilet Rentals
We provide portable toilet rentals for construction sites, special events, and emergency situations. Units include standard porta-potties, handicapped-accessible models, and luxury mobile washroom trailers with climate control. Regular servicing ensures hygiene and functionality throughout rental periods.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection service identifies blockages, cracks, and root intrusions in sewer lines using remote-controlled cameras. This technology enables precise diagnostics for residential, commercial, and municipal clients. Real-time footage allows immediate assessment and targeted repair recommendations without unnecessary excavation.
Bulk Water Hauling
Bulk water hauling delivers potable and non-potable water to remote locations, construction sites, and agricultural operations. Our fleet transports water for dust control, equipment washing, and emergency supply needs across Nova Scotia. This service supports projects requiring large-volume water access in underserved areas.
