Prices, call-outs and opening hours
No prices are published. Cesspit emptying is not named on the home page, so ask if you have a sealed tank rather than a septic tank.
Who it suits
Useful when a tank problem turns out to be a drain problem, because it can empty the tank and run a CCTV survey or clear a blockage. The 24 hour line suits urgent overflows anywhere in Cornwall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do you empty cesspits as well as septic tanks?
- Is the 24 hour line staffed for tank emergencies?
- Can a CCTV survey find why my tank fills quickly?
