What is it?
As well as emptying tanks and pits, we can clean septic tanks. We do this using high-powered jet vacuums, or by entering the tanks ourselves if necessary.
This allows us to clean all the lines into the tank, check the soakaway and clear any debris around it – so your septic tank continues to work as effectively as it did when you installed it.
Why choose us?
- Unwavering dedication
While we use the most pioneering technology, we know that sometimes, the best jobs are completed by hand. If our jets are unable to reach the areas that need cleaning, we will enter the tank ourselves to produce the best possible result. - Undeniable expertise
No two septic tanks will be the same; they’ll each need different treatment based on when they were last emptied and cleaned, and the type and volume of waste they hold. We have the know-how to complete our cleaning thoroughly in every situation.

Customer of Drainsurgeons for about six years during which time I have found the staff friendly and helpful. I have been struggling with Parkinsons Disease during that time and have been most impressed by the service provided - emptying a large cesspool.

Would 100% recommend.After being messed about by another firm I came across Drain Surgeons on Monday evening, contacted them and got an emergency job booked in for draining of our septic tank.John arrived at 9am the following morning and promptly got on with the task at hand cleared the tank and unblocked a drain.We do usually use another company for our empties every 18 months - they were unavailable to help, they are a good firm too, but for the excellent communication, prompt arrival and how quickly the job was done I'll be using Drain Surgeons in the future for my empties of our tank.Thanks again.

After moving into a new home with multiple drainage issues and unbelievably poor responses from the developer, Dean of DSL and his excellent team responded quickly to our request for which they treated as an emergency. Their assistance using their state of the art equipment, within hours had all drains unblocked, cleaned and working all in order, making the new home livable and odor-free.Highly recommended especially with the ever growing housing developments in Dubai.Again, many thanks to Dean and his team.

Ringing around drain unblocking company’s in a panic after our garage flooded from a backed up drain, drain surgeons straight away said they could help. Monika made the process quick and easy, and victor turned up within 2 hours of calling. He was polite and friendly and happy to speak to me about the work he was doing. Price very reasonable aswell. If we ever are in a similar situation again this is the first company I will call.

Top class service from Victor, would highly recommend. Victor came out on the early May bank holiday within 2 hours of my call to fix a blocked outside drain which was close to backing up into the house. Not only was he incredibly thorough (fixing the flow in all outdoor drains), but his cleanliness was immaculate, he was polite and respectful, and he even took the time to entertain my 3-year old by talking him through his work and letting him look down the manholes (my boy was so impressed, he has been pretending to fix blocked pipes in our house ever since!)

Great service by Dean and his team. We had an issue with drain smell. Him and his team moved their schedule around to accommodate us before the eid break. They did a thorough review of the issue and provided me with detailed understanding of where the underlying issues were while cleaning.Would really recommend these guys. Don’t waste your time with others. They might be on the pricier side but it’s always better to pay once and be done with it than doing it several times with others.

Excellent service from Drain Surgeons. Our appointment was very quick and easy to arrange. The lady I spoke with in the office listened to what our concern was with this particular drain and then arranged a suitable inspection appointment to suit us. She was also very helpful in ensuring we were getting the right service. We received updates letting us know where the engineer (Ryan) was in relation to arriving. Once onsite, Ryan listened to our concerns regarding the particular drain and then performed a detailed inspection showing the exact state of all the feeds into this particular drain as well as inspecting it through to the main sewer. He was very thorough and agreed what would be sensible to do to solve the problem and then ensured that we were happy with what he had done. As there was still time left, Ryan then checked all the other drains on our property just to be sure that there weren't any other problems or issues that might come up in the future. We are delighted with the service we received and I cannot rate Drain Surgeons, and particularly Ryan highly enough. I would absolutely recommend them to others and will definitely use them in the future should the need arise.

Ok these people are brilliant. Was a bit taken aback at the upfront fee but it’s callout PLUS first hour combined which makes it reasonable. Victor was excellent - fixed blocked drain very fast and stayed to do a further inspection to see what future remedial action could be taken - as I’d paid for the time already. Definitely recommend

Many thanks to Drain Surgeons for promptly clearing my sewer drain which was rising into my back garden. And many thanks to Jodi for going the extra mile and coming out so late at 7:30pm. It was a tough job but Jodi kept at it and eventually it cleared. I'm so grateful for the service provided.

Fantastic service from start to finish. Called the office to explain the issue, they were super friendly and helpful and advised someone would be out in a few hours. Victor arrived within 2 hours and quickly identified the issue. He was very professional and extremely respectful of our property. He kept me informed and talked me through the issue, including showing me everything on the cameras. He was vey clean and tidy and made sure I was completely happy before he left. Excellent service from everyone I dealt with at Drain Surgeons but particularly Victor. Great company, great service, highly recommend!.

Great company from start to finish. From the first phone call, to the job on site they were so professional.Had a small cesspit that needed to be cleared and I was really worried as we live on a farm. There was no need too, super professional and manoeuvred themselves round the farm like a pro.Even the farmer was impressed he didn't have to tow him out and it takes a lot to impress him.

Very much recommend this company (Ryan & Victor). Firstly in July 2023 Ryan came out as an emergency as our drains were blocked and toilet filling up. We had a young baby and didn’t want to be ripped off but their pricing seemed very reasonable. The company were prompt and helpful and Ryan worked fast to unblock our outside drains and clearly identified the problem. Then in February 2024 my mother had a blocked outside drainage identified on a survey and we suggested she used Drain Surgeons - Victor worked quickly to unblock and fix it. We would use this company again if need be!

You think when you buy a new house that the drains should be clear? Well that's not the case in Dubai. I'm very happy that I took the advice of a friend of mine to call up Dean and book an appointment to come check our drains. Extremely educational by sharing knowledge about the system we have and impartial in advising of the correct course of action to be taken regardless of money. Really friendly and professional and I would recommend to anyone who has any issues with their drains to spend their money here! An absolute must!!!

Highly recommend Drain Surgeons, they did a fantastic job re-lining our cracked clay pipe using blue light technology. They were polite, efficient, cleaned up after themselves and the staff in the office always helpful and quick to get back to you. We had 3 or 4 quotes to do this job and Drain Surgeons were the best for price and skill and offered blue light technology which no other company quoted us for.They saved us having to dig down and replace a pipe. Thank you, could'nt recommend enough!

Victor did a terrific job with our blocked downpipe which was a lot less straight-forward than it appeared. He identified the problem immediately, explained how he would resolve it & did so with great professionalism. Cleaned everything up afterwards. Would recommend Drain Surgeons. Very impressed.

After locating a blocked drainage system at the retirement development I manage, Drain Surgeons where contacted, attended within an hour, and within 2 hours, job done. Ryan was fantastic, talking me through every step. He took every care not to leave uncovered drains unattended, was polite and courteous with my residents, even offering to carry one residents bags for her. Top job! Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

We had a issue with an old drainage system from the moment we moved in and Oliver has been extremely helpful in resolving the problem for us. Drain Surgeons have put in a new treatment plant and soak away. Justin, who lead the team onsite, was very helpful and ensured the work ran smoothly. I would highly recommend this business to anyone and we will only be using Drain Surgeons for all future work.

Had a major issue with our cesspit, Dean was extremely helpful. He and the boys were knowledgeable and offered differing solutions to obtaining parts to help keep cost down. They were quick to attend and responded quickly to any queries. The whole group are top lads and will get your issue resolved. Really pleased we used them. Thanks again 👍👍👍👍Edit: 2023 - Once again Dean and the boys came up trumps. Top lads and always willing to go the extra mile.
