About our service in Cascais
At a house with a garden, what shapes the job is the geography of the plot. The tanker needs somewhere to stand, and between that point and the tank cover there may be a gate, a gravel drive, steps, a flower bed or a swimming pool. So before booking we ask for two concrete things: where the truck can stop and how many metres from there to the cover. With that we prepare the right hose length, which avoids the most frustrating outcome for everyone, which is arriving on site and not being able to reach. In gated developments in Birre or Quinta da Marinha there is also entry authorisation and sometimes a weight limit on internal roads, which we confirm with the management before travelling. The work itself follows a fixed order. We open up and look at the level, to tell a full tank from a tank that is not draining. We suck out the whole contents, including the surface crust and the sludge at the bottom, which is where the volume that really matters sits. We wash the walls down with pressurised water and check the baffle, the inlet and the outlet. The outlet is the critical point: if liquid is not leaving for the soakaway, the problem is not a full tank but a clogged drainage field, and in that case we say so rather than booking cleans closer and closer together. We leave in writing what we observed, including the state of the cover and its frame, which breaks easily where vehicles drive over it. Frequency comes down to three simple variables: the usable capacity of the tank, how many people use it and whether the house is lived in all year. A house occupied permanently by a family needs a steady rhythm; a holiday home or a coastal let has empty months and weeks at full occupancy, and the right moment to empty is before the high season, not halfway through it. After the first visit we can give a realistic interval for that particular house. The waste goes to a licensed treatment plant, with a record available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about septic tanks in Cascais:
How far can the truck be from the tank?
We work with extendable hose and manage large gardens, but there is a practical limit and any height to be climbed counts too. Tell us where we can stop and how many metres remain to the cover: we load the right length before setting off.
The house is only used in summer. When should I empty it?
Before the occupied period, not during it. A tank that sat idle all winter can be fuller than it looks, and finding that out with a full house is the worst possible moment. We book ahead and avoid the July rush.
How is the quote decided?
By the capacity of the tank, the volume and state of the sludge, the distance and difficulty of access, and whether washing out and a soakaway check are included. With WhatsApp photos or a site visit we give a no-obligation quote.
