The Most Interesting Septic Tank in the World

Some septic tanks panic.

Some septic tanks crack under pressure.

Not Tanky.

Why? He's under the care of Big John.

Stay drainable, my friends.

And if it involves dirt or drainage, give us a call.

Ok, this one is epic! Definitely worth your time to watch it.

Tanky asked Big John what the craziest septic tank story he'd ever had was.

The answer somehow involved... well... you just gotta see it.

Wonder what Phil Hartman as Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer would think if he knew that, decades later, he inspired a septic systems guy's social media storytelling!

If it involves dirt or drainage, give us a call.

Tanky says the warning signs were there all along.

The puddles.

The odors.

The slow drains.

Don't wait until your septic system qualifies for its own documentary.

If it involves dirt or drainage, give us a call.

Neighbors have opinions.
Cousins have opinions.
Random guys at the coffee shop have opinions.
Apparently Highland cows do too.
Good thing the only opinion that really matters is the next heavy rain.

Some employees watch.Some employees help.

And some employees just stand around the septic tank making sure you're doing it right.🐄🐄🐄

If it involves dirt or drainage, give Big John a call.

🕵️ THE CASE OF THE GUILTY GROUND 🕵️

The puddles weren't talking...
..but they didn't have to.

A suspiciously wet lawn. Mysterious runoff. Clues hiding in plain sight.

Fortunately, Big John was on the case.

So were Maddi, Cooper, and Maverick... and some are clearly done with his detective routine.

The dirty truth? Standing water, runoff, and poor drainage aren't just clues in a mystery. They're often warning signs that something needs attention before spring melt turns a small problem into a big one.

If it involves dirt or drainage, sweetheart... you know who to call.

You know it’s bad when the grass is bubbling… and nobody wants to go outside anymore. 🤢💨

Spring melt doesn't care how nice your basement used to be. 💧

Proper grading and drainage matter a whole lot when the thaw hits Alberta. Water always finds the low spot... the question is whether that spot is your foundation.

If it involves dirt or drainage, call Big John Earthworks & Septic Systems.

Some people dig trenches.
Some people... leave behind a toy shovel and call it "good enough."

Around here, we take what's underground seriously - because shortcuts have a funny way of resurfacing later.

If it involves dirt or drainage, call Big John Earthworks & Septic Systems.
