For the many Nairobi and Kenya properties not connected to mains sewer lines, exhauster and septic tank services are essential, practical maintenance rather than an occasional luxury. Here are the questions we hear most often.
How often should a septic tank be exhausted?
This depends on household size and tank capacity, but most residential septic tanks need exhausting once or twice a year. Larger households or properties with smaller tanks may need more frequent servicing.
What are the signs that a septic tank needs exhausting?
Common signs include slow-draining sinks and toilets, unpleasant odours around the tank area, gurgling sounds in plumbing, or visible wastewater pooling near the tank or drainage field.
What does the exhauster service process involve?
Our exhauster service involves pumping out accumulated waste from the septic tank using specialised equipment, safely transporting it for proper disposal in line with environmental regulations.
Do you serve areas outside Nairobi for exhauster services?
Yes, we provide exhauster services across Nairobi and several surrounding areas including Rongai, Ngong Town, and other locations where septic systems are common due to limited mains sewer connection.
How long does an exhauster visit take?
This depends on tank size and accessibility, but a typical residential exhauster visit takes one to two hours, including setup, pumping, and cleanup.
What happens if a septic tank overflows before I can book a service?
An overflowing septic tank should be addressed urgently to avoid health and environmental hazards. Contact us as soon as possible and we’ll prioritise emergency servicing where our schedule allows.
Is exhauster service available for commercial and industrial properties?
Yes, we service septic systems for commercial and industrial premises as well as residential properties, particularly relevant for properties in areas like Athi River or Rongai with limited mains sewer infrastructure.
How is exhauster service pricing determined?
Pricing depends on tank size, accessibility, and the volume of waste to be removed. Contact us with your property details for a specific quote.
Can poor septic maintenance affect my water supply?
Yes, if a septic system is neglected and overflows or leaks, it can potentially contaminate nearby water sources, including boreholes — which is why regular exhauster servicing matters for both sanitation and water safety.
Do you offer a recurring exhauster service schedule?
Yes, we can set up an annual or bi-annual recurring schedule based on your household’s typical usage, so you don’t need to track service dates manually.
