Septic Tank Emptying Services in Henley-on-Thames
All septic tanks should be emptied regularly to remove the solid waste that builds up in them. We’d recommend having your tank emptied at least once a year, but this ultimately depends on the amount of waste going to the tank, as well as the type of tank and size of it.
Emptying your tank regularly will reduce the risk of overflows and blockages in your sewage system. With their powerful vacuum systems and on-board water supply, our tankers can empty and wash all types of septic tanks quickly and effectively.
And, if your soak-away is blocked, our high-pressure jetting equipment can remove the blockage with ease.
Cesspit / Cesspool Emptying
Your cesspool will likely become full every four to six weeks, when it will need to be emptied. As with septic tanks, this will totally depend on the type and size of the cesspool and how much waste is being contained.
As cesspools usually contain all the waste from a property, the size will often be considerable. This is no problem for the Drain Surgeons tankers, which come with the latest equipment that allows us to dispose of all waste at a licensed liquid waste treatment plant.

Outstanding Service from Start to FinishI contacted Drain Surgeons today at 5:20 PM after leaving a Google review, and was quickly greeted by a lovely lady named Flo. From the very first moment, she showed nothing but kindness, professionalism, and efficiency. Within 45 minutes, an engineer called Lucas was already on-site—unbelievable response time!A payment promise was arranged quickly, and the service was excellent value for money. The engineer Lucas who attended was not only highly competent but also an absolute gentleman. He ensured the issue was fully resolved before leaving, all within a three-hour window.Flo and the team at Drain Surgeons made what could have been a stressful situation seamless and reassuring. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of reliable, fast, and courteous drain unblocking services in Reading. Five stars!

Tony provides a first class service. He was ever so helpful in explaining how the block likely occurred, working with enthusiasm, professionally and is an ambassador to the company he works for. Polite and courteous at all times, Tony was simply fantastic.

I had a blocked drain from the kitchen and a Man named Tony came round to unblock it. I have had an issue 4 times over the last 10 years and had other companies out to fix it but they didn’t do a great job, but Tony has done a better job then any of the previous visits from other companies, I watched him in and throughout and he has drained and cleaned the pipes to the best I have ever seen, the amount of build of grease and oil and whatever stuff that he cleaned out was amazing, a stand up chap, great work ethic, will definitely be using your company in the future.

Monday evening external drain blocked, flowing onto patio. Engineer Tony Murrell came. After some initial investigations and testing, together we located the neighbour as the drain access. Then Tony was able to swiftly clear the blockage, which we subsequently, successfully flushed through. All good. Cause was identified as probably due to a relocated drain access point, which resulted in a pipe diameter change, so a place for debris to dwell. Check the rest of the drain, looked in great condition, as we have water softener.Good discussions together throughout.Thank you Drain Surgeons!

Had a slow draining kitchen sink and Flo explained how they would go about finding and removing the problem and how the pricing worked. She made sure I had enough time to move things so that the team would have the access they needed. Lukasz arrived on time and we talked through the issue and he systematically checked and cleared all the pipes, explaining everything as he went, until he found and removed the problem. He also cleaned everything down before he left. I can highly recommend the team.

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!
