Septic pumping in West Kelowna

Septic systems are common on the west side of the lake, particularly on larger and hillside lots and in the rural areas along Westside Road. Our crews have completed more than 650 septic jobs at more than 400 West Kelowna properties since 2020, including more than 80 in the 12 months to October 2026.

Every pump-out removes the sludge, scum and wastewater from the tank. If your tank has an effluent filter, we clean it while the tank is open, and once it’s empty our crew looks it over for visible signs of wear and tells you what we saw. If your lids are buried, we can add risers so future pump-outs don’t need any digging. Most household tanks need pumping every three to five years; here’s how often to pump a septic tank.

Pricing and scheduling

West Kelowna pump-outs are priced by quote. One trip across the bridge for a single tank doesn’t make sense on its own, so we group West Kelowna and Peachland pump-outs and schedule them together on set days, which keeps the cost down. Booking ahead helps us fit you into the next group. If wastewater is backing up into the house, don’t wait: call our 24/7 line.

Many West Kelowna homes sit on slopes or at the end of steep or narrow driveways. When you book, tell us about access, such as a gate, a tight turn or a tank that’s a long way from where a truck can park, so we can plan the visit. We pump tanks, clean filters and add risers; we don’t install or repair septic systems. Read more about our septic tank pumping service.

Hydrovac excavation in West Kelowna

West Kelowna keeps growing, and much of that work happens around existing utilities. Since 2020 we’ve completed more than 850 hydrovac jobs at more than 450 West Kelowna sites, and more than 110 in the 12 months to October 2026. Typical jobs include daylighting gas, water, power and fibre lines before digging, cutting narrow trenches for new services, digging holes for posts and footings on tight lots, and collecting slurry on drilling jobs.

Because a hydrovac digs with pressurized water and a vacuum, it’s the safe way to dig beside buried lines. Up to 200 feet of remote hose lets our crews work behind houses, on slopes and in yards the truck can’t reach, and heated water cuts through frozen ground in winter. Request locates through BC 1 Call first; the hydrovac then confirms exactly where the lines are. See our hydrovac truck services or read about hydrovac daylighting.

Grease trap cleaning in Westbank and across West Kelowna

Restaurants, cafés and food businesses along the Highway 97 corridor in Westbank and across West Kelowna rely on us to keep their grease traps working. We’ve completed more than 700 grease trap jobs at more than 140 West Kelowna locations since 2020, and more than 100 in the 12 months to October 2026. Most commercial traps need cleaning every 30 to 90 days. We pump out the fats, oils, grease and food solids, use hot water jetting where buildup is heavy, and can set up a recurring schedule. Backups are handled 24/7. See grease trap cleaning and disposal.
