WARNING SIGNS

Is Your Septic System Trying to Tell You Something?

Don't ignore the warning signs of a failing septic system. If you notice any of the following, call us right away:

  • 🚨 Slow-draining sinks or toilets—often the first sign of a full or failing tank.
  • 🚨 Foul odours around the tank, drain field, or inside your home.
  • 🚨 Unusually lush, green grass over the septic area — a sign of leaking effluent.
  • 🚨 Puddles or soft, mushy soil in the yard during dry weather.
  • 🚨 Gurgling sounds in your pipes or drains.
  • 🚨 Sewage alarm beeping—stop using water immediately and call us.

GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently asked questions about septic tank cleaning in Cranbrook

How often should I have my septic tank pumped?

Icon of a purple circle with a white double arrow

Most residential tanks should be cleaned every 3 to 5 years. However, larger families or smaller tanks may require more frequent service. When in doubt, give us a call and we can help you assess your system.

Do I need to be home for the service?

Icon of a purple circle with a white double arrow

As long as we have clear access to the tank and your gates are unlocked, you don't need to be home. We'll take care of everything and let you know when the job is done.

Can you help me find my tank? I don't know where it is.

Icon of a purple circle with a white double arrow

Absolutely. We offer tank locating services and can use video camera inspections to pinpoint the exact location of your tank and lines—no guesswork needed.

What happens if I don't pump my tank regularly?

Icon of a purple circle with a white double arrow

Solid waste will eventually overflow into your drain field, clogging the soil and causing a total system failure that can cost thousands of dollars to replace. Regular maintenance is always the smarter and most cost efficient choice in the long run.

Do you offer services for industrial or commercial sites?

Icon of a purple circle with a white double arrow

Yes. Our high-volume vacuum tankers are equipped for industrial pumping, spill cleanups, and large-scale waste removal across the East Kootenay region.

Why is my septic alarm beeping?

Icon of a purple circle with a white double arrow

A beeping alarm usually means your pump has failed or your water level is dangerously high. Stop using water immediately and call us right away for an emergency inspection.

Does Economy Tankers offer free estimates?

Icon of a purple circle with a white double arrow

Yes! We offer scheduled maintenance programs so you never have to worry about remembering when your tank was last serviced.
