A properly functioning septic system is essential for the health and safety of your home or business. At John The Plumber Ottawa, we offer a full range of septic services in Ottawa, from septic tank cleaning and septic pumping to inspections, repairs, and new septic tank installations.
We proudly serve the Ottawa area, helping homeowners and businesses keep their septic systems clean, safe, and fully operational.
If you’re dealing with a full septic tank, slow drains, sewage backups, or unpleasant odours near your sink, clogged toilets, or drain field, our licensed professionals are ready to help. Our team combines deep knowledge of the plumbing industry with hard work and attention to detail to deliver the highest quality service for your septic system.
Before we begin any service, our professional team conducts a thorough inspection of your entire septic system. We assess the tank, outlet baffles, drain field, and connected pipes to identify potential problems such as sludge buildup, root intrusion, or poor waste flow.
Our septic inspections follow Ontario Ministry guidelines to ensure compliance and system integrity. Whether it’s minor clogging or signs of more serious damage, our team finds the source and maps out the best solution.
Over time, solid waste and sludge accumulate in your septic tank, leading to system overload and sewage backups. Our septic tank pumping and cleaning services safely remove this buildup and restore your system’s flow.
As a general guideline, we recommend pumping services every 3–5 years, depending on your water usage and household size. Our experienced technicians use specialized equipment to handle septic pumping services cleanly and efficiently, protecting your home and the environment.
Need a new septic system installation or an upgrade to your existing setup? We offer expert design and installation of code-compliant septic systems tailored to your property’s size, soil type, and usage demands.
Whether you’re building a new home or replacing a failing system, our professional septic services team ensures proper access, layout, and flow.
We take every measure to reduce disruption to your property while delivering long-lasting results.
Preventative care is the best way to avoid costly repairs and failures. We provide reliable septic system maintenance services that keep your system clean, compliant, and working like new.
Our maintenance plans include:
Routine tank cleaning and septic tank pumping
Performance checks of outlet baffles and pipes
Monitoring for signs of drain field saturation
Expert advice on protecting your plumbing system from harmful chemicals and overuse

Slow drains, sewage smells, gurgling pipes, or pooling water near your drain field are signs your septic tank may be full. These issues mean it’s time to schedule septic pumping before more serious damage occurs.
Most septic tanks in Ontario should be pumped every 3 to 5 years. Regular pumping prevents backups and keeps your system running efficiently.
