Drain Cleaning and Holding Tank Pumping:
You never know what you’re going to knock off of someone’s car. We’re not talking about antennas or "I heart my labradoodle" magnets, we’re talking about the junk that they bring in with them. Huge clumps of mud, rocks, sticks, and stuff you’d never guess would stick to a car in the first place! Sure, your drains can handle a lot, but mix that with the grease that comes off of undercarriages and brakes and you need a professional drain cleaner to do the job right. Our technicians utilize high pressure water jets to clean away dirt and debris, and with specialized equipment we can pump out holding tanks to ensure your businesses is running smoothly and your wastewater practices support a healthy environment.

Just because it goes down the drains doesn’t mean that it’s gone for good. Eventually you’re going to need sewer line cleaning to scrape everything out all the way to the public sewer line. John Kline Septic is is the sewer cleaner you need. Our technicians use the latest equipment to ensure that pipes are free of dirt, grease, gravel or other blockages. And when there's an issue we offer camera technology to properly diagnose and repair the issue at hand.

With our preventive maintenance program, we’ll keep everything cleaned out year-round so that so that you never have to turn a customer away due to a clogged drain or sewer line issue.
