Septic Tank Abandonment Ottawa

If your property has an old septic tank that is no longer in use—whether you’ve connected to Ottawa’s municipal sewer system or are planning land changes—it’s critical to have the tank safely abandoned. Leaving a tank in place can create serious hazards.

Why Septic Tank Abandonment Matters

• Ensures compliance with local regulations and bylaws
• Protects your property value with proper documentation

Our Abandonment Process

1. Site Evaluation – We locate and inspect the tank and surrounding soil.
2. Pump & Clean – All contents are safely removed and disposed of.
3. Disconnect & Fill – The tank is disconnected, crushed or removed, then filled with sand, gravel, or approved material.
4. Site Restoration – We restore and grade the surface to prevent future settling.
5. Certification – You receive official documentation confirming proper abandonment.

Benefits of Professional Abandonment
