Services
Septic Tank Pumping
Regular septic tank pumping prevents sludge buildup that can damage drain fields. Our certified technicians use specialized equipment to thoroughly clean tanks and ensure proper system function. We recommend pumping every 2-3 years depending on usage and tank size.
Drain Cleaning
We clear blocked drains using advanced jet streaming and mechanical methods. Our services address clogs in laundry, kitchen, and mainline drains while identifying underlying issues. Emergency drain clearing is available for urgent residential and commercial needs.
Camera Inspection
Our high-resolution camera inspections locate blockages, cracks, and root intrusions in sewer lines. This non-invasive technology enables precise diagnostics and targeted repairs. We provide real-time video feedback to explain findings and recommended solutions.
Septic System Installation
We design and install compliant septic systems tailored to property requirements. Services include lagoon systems, gravity flow setups, and distribution field configurations. All installations meet current BC environmental standards and include detailed maintenance guidance.
Frozen Line Thawing
Our specialized thawing equipment resolves frozen waterlines and sewer pipes without damaging infrastructure. This service prevents burst pipes and system failures during cold northern BC winters. We prioritize rapid response to minimize property disruption.

Anyone deal with blockbuster waste/septic lately...clearly they are too big for their boots as apparently "lisa" , wouldnt give her last name , but said she was the owner ...was extremely rude and short with my spouse , then when i called back and questioned her on talking to customers that way..well we were potential customers, but no longer, she was even more unprofessional and hung up on me ... I know ill never deal with them again, id suggest people use the other companies in town as Blockbuster doesnt care about the average, everyday consumer@!

It was a dire situation with my sewage backing up into my tub/toilet late last night. I called Blockbuster first thing and they came out right away. It was a series of complications, but they got the job done!!! Dion went far beyond to help fix the situation. Huge gratitude.
