About our vacuum tankers

Mercedes-Benz Arocs vacuum tanker — blue tank

A heavy-duty Mercedes-Benz Arocs rigid vacuum tanker with a blue steel tank, used for septic tank emptying, cesspit emptying, sludge removal and liquid waste collection. Its large-capacity tank means fewer trips, and its powerful vacuum pump and long hose reach tanks that are some distance from the road, which is common on farms and rural properties around Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow.

Mercedes-Benz Arocs vacuum tanker — stainless tank

A second Mercedes-Benz Arocs with a stainless steel vacuum tank, hose storage and secure equipment lockers on board. It is set up for drain unblocking support, gully and manhole emptying, grease trap cleaning, silt and sediment removal and commercial and industrial wastewater work, with the hoses and tools carried on the truck.

Vacuum tankers work by creating suction inside a sealed tank, so liquids, sludge and silt are drawn through the hose without spillage and without anyone entering the tank. That makes them the standard tool for septic tank desludging, cesspit emptying, tank and pit emptying, sump cleaning and sewer and drain maintenance.

Septic tank emptying in Dublin & Ireland

Septic tank emptying Dublin

A septic tank that is not emptied in time leads to slow drains, bad smells and, in the worst case, sewage backing up into the home or onto the ground. Regular septic tank emptying, also called desludging, protects your property, your drainage field and the local environment. Our vacuum tankers remove the sludge and liquid from your septic tank quickly and cleanly, so you can get on with your day.

How a vacuum tanker empties a septic tank

The tanker is parked as close to the tank as access allows. The operator opens the tank cover, runs a hose into the tank and the vacuum pump draws out the contents into the sealed tank on the truck. Hose length matters on farms and rural properties, so tell us about the distance from the road and any gates or narrow access when you request a quote. Photos of the tank and the route help our team plan the job.

Cesspit emptying and holding tanks

A cesspit has no outlet, so it fills with every flush and every wash. Cesspit emptying has to happen regularly and before the tank is full. We can plan regular visits for homes, holiday lets, farms and businesses so you are never caught out.

Drain unblocking and high pressure jetting

Blocked drains are caused by grease, wipes, tree roots, scale, silt or collapsed pipes. Drain unblocking with high pressure jetting clears the blockage and cleans the pipe wall, which stops it coming straight back. We also clean gullies and manholes, and carry out sewer cleaning for private drainage runs.

Grease traps, sludge and industrial wastewater

Restaurants, hotels and food businesses need regular grease trap emptying. Factories, building sites and facilities need pit, sump and tank cleaning and sludge removal. Our vacuum tankers handle liquid sludge, silt and non-hazardous wastewater as part of a planned service.

Frequently asked questions

How does a vacuum tanker empty a septic tank?

A powerful vacuum pump on the tanker draws the liquid and sludge from the tank through a hose into the sealed tank on the truck. The operator then checks that the tank is cleared, and the waste is taken away for lawful disposal.

How often should a septic tank be emptied?

It depends on the size of the tank, the number of people using it and how it is used. Follow your installer's advice and current official guidance, and arrange emptying before the tank is full.

What is the difference between a septic tank and a cesspit?

A septic tank treats wastewater and discharges the liquid after treatment, so only the sludge builds up. A cesspit is a sealed holding tank that stores everything and must be emptied regularly.

What are signs that my septic tank needs emptying?

Slow drains, gurgling pipes, bad smells, soggy ground over the tank or the tank reaching the top of its normal level are all common signs.
