Environmental Services

dsq Plumbing & Environmental provides residential and commercial septic tank and holding tank pumping services, filter cleaning and flushing. We dispose of all waste at licensed treatment facilities in compliance with our MOE permits. This eliminates any liability for our customers. Septic tank maintenance tips:

• Pump your septic tank every three years.
•  Septic systems cannot digest oils, greases or fats that may be poured down your sink or toilet. In addition, no paint or solvents.
•  Flush only toilet paper. No wipes, rags, sanitary napkins, Kleenex, paper towels, etc.
•  Regular maintenance and moderate water use will help prolong the life of your septic system.
• A faucet leaking one drop per second wastes 10,000 liters of water yearly, and a toilet leak can waste 20 times more.
•  Don’t drive cars, trucks or heavy machinery over your septic drain field. You could crush it or compact the soil around your pipes.
•  Planting trees and shrubs near your drain field is also risky. Roots can plug or damage your system.
• Signs of a failing septic system include lush, spongy grass over the drain field, slow drainage in sinks and showers, sewage odors, and liquid pooling over the drain field.
• If something doesn’t break down naturally, don’t allow it to flush into your septic tank
