FAQs
How often should I empty my septic tank in Galway?
For most homes, septic tanks typically need emptying every 1-3 years, depending on tank size, household usage and the condition of the system. Our Galway team can assess your tank and advise on a suitable emptying schedule for your property.
Do you offer emergency drain unblocking in Galway?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency drain unblocking across County Galway, including Galway City, Tuam, Ballinasloe, Loughrea, Athenry, Oranmore and surrounding rural areas. We target a 3-hour response for emergency call-outs.
I’m buying a home in Galway – should I get a drain survey first?
Yes, particularly if you’re buying an older or rural property. A Homebuyer CCTV Drain Survey can identify blockages, damage and other drainage issues before you complete the purchase, helping you avoid unexpected repair costs later.
Are your septic tank and waste services EPA-compliant?
McBreen Environmental is fully licensed to collect and transport septic tank waste. We are also one of the few drainage companies with our own waste processing facility, Breffni Organics, giving us greater control and traceability from collection through to processing. Regular emptying and servicing can also help keep your septic system properly maintained in line with EPA guidance.
How quickly can you reach me in Galway?
With our depot based in Galway, our local teams are well positioned to respond across the county. We cover Galway City, Tuam, Ballinasloe, Loughrea, Athenry, Oranmore and surrounding areas, with a target response time of 3 hours for emergencies.
Customer Testimonials
4.9 Stars based on 81 Reviews
If you have any issues with sewage just contact Mc Breens. Sinead in the office was a star for arranging everything for us and ensured that it would be sorted even though we could not be there. The guy on the lorry was exceptionally helpful and did all that was asked and more besides. And all for the original quote no extra charges. Highly recommended.
Thomas Farrelly
What stood out most to me was their professionalism and good manners something that goes a long way, especially these days. There was no mess left behind, and everything was left in good order before they left.
This being my second time using them, I’d have no hesitation in recommending McBreen’s to others. It’s reassuring to find a company that is reliable and consistent.

McBreen came to do our septic tank and the guy doing it was an absolute legend he went above and beyond ... unfortunately cannot remember his name as he was from one of the Baltic countries but he was so good and ensured everything was right before he left 10/10 for me ...highly recommended
