CLARE | LIMERICK | GALWAY
If your home or business isn’t connected to the main sewer, your bio-cycle or septic tank requires regular maintenance.
At CES Environmental Services, we specialise in bio-cycle cleaning and bio-cycle emptying across Clare, Limerick, and Galway — keeping your system efficient, compliant, and environmentally safe.
All bio-cycle tanks and septic tanks should be emptied at least once a year. Regular servicing helps identify issues early, prevent costly repairs, and protect your soakaway or percolation area from damage. It also ensures your system operates at its best and reduces the risk of blockages or overflows during periods of heavy rain.
EPA-Approved & Licensed Waste Disposal
CES Environmental Ltd holds a National Waste Collection Permit (NWCPO-15-11656-01), authorised by the National Waste Collection Permit Office (NWCPO).
All waste collected is safely transported to authorised treatment facilities, and a Waste Disposal Certificate is provided after each service.
This certificate confirms the date of emptying and disposal site — essential for compliance with EPA and Water Services (Amendment) Act 2012 inspections.
👉 A copy of our waste permit is available on request.
Our Bio-Cycle Cleaning Process
Our professional and friendly team provides an efficient, safe, and fully licensed service from start to finish.
- Initial Enquiry & Preparation
When you contact us, we’ll ask about:
- Tank size and last emptying date
- Accessibility for our trucks
- Type of system – septic tank or bio-cycle unit
We’ll then determine whether a smaller Jet Vac truck (for limited driveways or narrow access) or a larger unit (for high-volume tanks) is required.
- On-Site Service
Our modern Jet Vac unit combines a powerful vacuum and water supply system, allowing us to empty, clean, and clear your tank and drain lines in a single visit.
If any issues arise, our trucks are equipped with jetting units and CCTV cameras to inspect and unblock pipes immediately — making CES your one-stop solution for all septic and bio-cycle tank needs.
- Documentation
After completion, you’ll receive:
- A Waste Disposal Certificate confirming the collection date and disposal details
- Assurance that your waste has been disposed of at a licensed facility
- Documentation suitable for any EPA inspection
What You Should Know About Your Tank
Regular care is essential for a healthy bio-cycle system. Follow these key maintenance tips:
- Have your septic or bio-cycle tank emptied and inspected annually.
- Know the location and capacity of your tank and percolation area.
- Keep a record of maintenance, repairs, and permits issued.
- Ensure the tank cover is accessible for emptying and inspection.
- Never open your tank yourself — dangerous gases are present.
- All CES staff are fully trained in confined space safety and carry gas monitors.
- Make sure gutters and surface water do not enter your tank.
If you have more people using your system than the tank was designed for, schedule bio-cycle emptying more frequently to prevent overflow.
Common Signs of a Tank Problem
Contact CES if you notice any of the following:
- Toilets or sinks draining slowly
- Sewage odours near the tank or drains
- Water pooling over the percolation area
- Greyish slime growths near ditches or drains
- Gurgling sounds or overflowing wastewater
These signs suggest your tank may need bio-cycle cleaning or septic tank maintenance immediately.
