Are you the owner of an office block, hotel, or shopping centre?

As a commercial property owner, you will know that efficient business operations involve more than just providing excellent products or services; it also requires attention to critical elements often overlooked, such as the proper functioning of the septic system. Let’s be honest, a lurking sewage smell is NOT the way to attract new customers or facilitate a happy workforce…

Why you should partner with septic tank specialists:


Unlike residential septic systems, commercial setups are more complex, operating on a larger scale with varied requirements depending on the nature of the property. Distinguishing itself from residential counterparts, commercial septic systems are intricate, serving larger scales and varying system requirements depending on the nature of the property. In short, it’s very important to find a service provider you can trust to avoid any undesirable mishaps…

Professional equipment for comprehensive solutions

Managing septic tank drainage on commercial properties, especially those with additional components like grease and fat traps, demands expertise. Entrusting this task to professionals ensures the safety of customers and staff while maintaining compliance with health and environmental regulations.

Here at Shadai SA, with the above in mind, risk management is a top priority.

 All of our trucks and tankers are equipped with Spill Tech kits, in the case of an emergency, as well as the necessary tools and equipment needed in a breakdown. Shadai trucks and tankers operate with all the necessary and valid permits that enable us to dispose of septic waste at the various eThekwini waste water treatment works and the broader KZN municipalities.

Preventive maintenance for efficiency

Commercial properties house larger septic tanks due to increased waste output. While these tanks may seem to function seamlessly on their own, it’s crucial to implement a preventative maintenance schedule. Shadai SA can conduct routine maintenance on water and sewer pumps to ensure your commercial septic tanks operate as designed. This proactive approach helps prevent issues before they escalate.

Diagnostics and timely repairs

Given the higher volume of waste generated by commercial establishments, periodic desludging is essential. Complex systems are prone to various issues such as build-ups, leeching odours, or clogs—compounded by large-scale, incorrect flushing or disposal of grease and oils. Addressing these issues promptly prevents minor concerns from evolving into larger, more costly problems, saving your business from unnecessary expenses.

In summary, maintaining the septic systems of commercial properties requires specialised attention. Shadai SA combines expertise, preventive maintenance, and timely diagnostics to ensure the seamless operation of your septic system. For commercial property owners, investing in professional septic tank services is an investment in the longevity and efficiency of your business.
