Septic tanks in Aberdeen: Family-run firm offers all-year-round service, with drainage and heating too


Septic tanks and summer sounds like an unpleasant combo … and who are you going to call for help?
For rural homes and businesses throughout Aberdeenshire, summer doesn’t sound like the season to expect drainage problems.
But Drain Surgeon Aberdeen says septic tanks – used by homes and businesses not connected to the mains water grid – definitely need professional drainage if they are getting full in the hot summer months.
Run by father-and-son team Robert and Nathan Cadger, this is a firm with the Aberdeenshire community at its heart. They sponsor three players in the Bridge of Don Thistle football team, and big supports of the Your Love Rara charity, supporting children, young people and their families throughout Aberdeenshire.

Working in and around Aberdeen since 2002, they have built up a loyal client based and receive many good reviews.
What the customers say:
Feedback from reviewers online is positive.
One wrote: “Contacted out of hours after being let down by another company- 8pm on a Saturday night. We had an engineer in around an hour who was extremely knowledgable and got the heating running in no time. After having our time wasted with big national firms this was a real relief. Highly recommended.”
Another said: “Highly recommend. Neat, tidy, courteous and do what they say when they say.”


What is a septic tank?
It’s a waste water management system taking waste from toilets, showers, baths, sinks and washing machines. They handle effluent efficiently, ensuring that human waste doesn’t contaminate the area.
Regular emptying eliminates smells, sewage back up and keeps plumbing running smoothly. It also prevents run-off entering the drinking water supply, and regular emptying and maintenance where required can help avoid costly bills further down the line.
Legal and professional
This is not a job you can, or would want to, handle yourself. The Drain Surgeon has all the right tools to effectively remove and dispose of waste sludge, in a safe, legal and responsible manner, and have licences waste water vehicles up to the job. They also have all the right equipment for handling dangerous gas build up in and around the tank.
