Blockages in drains and the associated flooding is always a problem. But the experienced employees of Marquis AG Sewage Service can be quickly on site to solve the issue. We repair damage quickly and reliably. In addition, the excellent training and further education of our service technicians at Marquis AG Sewage Service guarantees that all work is carried out carefully and absolutely professionally. We help with drain unclogging of:
- Washbasins, toilets, bath/showers
- Gutters, drainpipes
- Floor and patio drains
- Coffee machines, steamers, freezers
Grease, hair, and also lime and sand deposits, as well as ingrown roots can narrow the sewage pipes in your property. This can happen to such an extent that the drainage system no longer works properly the next time you take a shower or the next storm.
With a precautionary check of your house sewage system, you can avoid clogged drains and expensive repairs. At the same time, professional maintenance contributes to the value of your property.
Our professionals check your sewage pipes
⇒ In the house; washbasin, toilet, bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, etc.
⇒ Around the house; gutters, shafts, canals, drainage pipes, etc.
and, if necessary, we then create an offer for the cleaning work.

Regular and gentle cleaning prevents blockages, flooding, unpleasant odors and high follow-up costs. Each of our vehicles is equipped with a versatile range of tools and a TV camera. Limescale and deposits don't stand a chance. With regular checks, even minor damage can be detected early and can be repaired more cheaply. A maintenance plan drawn up by us saves time and money.
The Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and the Basel Land Office for Environmental Protection (AUE BL) have drawn up new guidelines for emptying road manholes. The guidelines state that no contaminated backwash water may be drained into the manholes when they are emptied. This means that the sludge collectors have to be emptied by officially approved suction recycling vehicles. As an innovative company, Marquis AG Sewage Service started developing its own suction recycling vehicle many years ago. This vehicle, which meets the requirements of Swiss legislation, can de-water the sludge on site, recirculate the water and dispose of the sludge, which has thus been reduced in volume, in an environmentally friendly and legally compliant manner. Marquis AG Sewage Service is currently working with several special vehicles in the field of sewer cleaning and emptying of road manholes in the service of cantons and municipalities.
Marquis AG Sewage Service offers our customers extensive services in the field of extraction. With our special machines, we can exhaust the following areas, among others, and thus ensure more safety:
- Stormwater retention basins
- Roof water collector
- Seepage shafts and pits
- Ponds, pools, and Biotopes
- Oil and petrol separator
- Fat separator
- Septic tanks
- Mud drilling etc.
We use a wide variety of suction vehicles for the various jobs, which are optimally specialized for the individual areas.
We empty, clarify and fill industrial collectors in one operation on site. In the special vehicle, the polluted water is separated and clarified on the spot in a physical-chemical process turning it into solids and liquids. The treated water meets the discharge requirements of the Water Protection Ordinance and can therefore be returned to the system. Only the significantly smaller amount of solids has to be removed and disposed of.
Suction and flush recycling
As pioneers in the field of research and development of "mobile waste treatment plants", we use the latest recycling vehicles developed to meet the needs of the Swiss market. We offer a unique, economically and ecologically aware sewer cleaning service.
Reducing the volume of waste by de-watering and conditioning the waste mass on site. Savings in disposal and transport costs. Use of the solids to generate renewable energy. With a recycling capacity of up to 900 liters per minute, these vehicles make a valuable contribution to environmental protection in addition to their excellent cleaning properties.
Suction recycling
A chemical-physical treatment plant separates sludge from water. The clean water returns to the separator, only the sludge is disposed of.
Rinsing water recycling
One-time refueling with fresh water. The rinsing water that is sucked up is constantly being physically processed and reused.
Only high-tech equipment, professional tools and well-trained employees enable efficient and high-quality investigations and the location of shafts.

TV bus with “explosion-proof system”
This sewer TV bus is equipped for areas of application with an increased risk of ignition such as gas stations, garages, chemicals, industrial, tank farms, etc. The entire camera system, pan head camera and steerable camera trolley with tilting option, is "explosion-proof" according to the II 2 G Ex px IIB T4 Gb standard. A 300-meter-long trolley cable, swivel head camera with integrated location transmitter, a high-pressure flushing unit, various cleaning nozzles and much more enable all types of work to be carried out in one operation.
With today's camera systems, several branch lines can be examined via the main line. Access via downpipes, washing troughs, etc. is no longer necessary. This can be done with a pin on the head of the camera, or when examining house connections from the municipal or city sewer using a satellite camera trolley with an additional sliding unit. The recording always takes place against the direction of flow.
Do you have no or incorrect sewerage plans? Using pipe locating, hidden or leaking pipes can be quickly located.
- Unknown route of cables
- Locate shafts
- Locate sewer breakages
- Locate cables through floors, ceilings and walls
On the trail of leaks with high-tech techniques
A sewer TV camera only provides visual information about the tightness of a sewer. A leak test must be carried out to check whether a repair site is actually leak-tight after a renovation. Rohrputz-Loriol is recommended as an accredited, neutral and independent testing center.
Clean ventilation systems are essential for people and machines. Only clean ventilation guarantees healthy air quality for you and your employees and allows sensitive machines and processes to function properly. Ventilation hygiene is worth it.
Sludge transport and disposal
We also take care of the disposal of all kinds of sludge and wet waste for our customers. Thanks to our special vehicles and thanks to the experience of our employees, we can ensure that the various wet wastes are disposed of professionally and in an environmentally friendly manner and, if necessary, also clarify them on site. This is how we at Marquis AG Sewage Service avoid contamination of soil and water during all our work. Use our consulting services to contact us. As a waste disposal company, we are happy to support private individuals, companies and communities with our knowledge and experience.
Drilling mud disposal
Do you have to dispose of drilling mud from flushing or hammer drilling contaminated with bentonite, cement or other additives? We have a treatment plant for de-watering liquid drilling mud. We are your partner when it comes to professional drilling mud recycling! Ask us for prices!
More information on sludge transport and disposal can be found here: EVAG AG
The cleaning equipment is supplied and operated with high-pressure water using our emergency vehicles. We use it to remove algae or moss growth and other deposits from terraces, paths, walls, or even swimming pools and sports fields in no time at all.
During persistent good weather conditions, the ground becomes dry and therefore hard. This makes it easy to reach lines and manholes that are normally only accessible with a heavy truck suction/flushing vehicle with additional tools (hoses, special reels, etc.) or not at all. During this time, reservoir overflow lines, field drainages and field path shafts can be optimally cleaned.
Pond and natural pool cleaning
Ponds or biotopes are exposed to strongly changing conditions. This habitat therefore places very high demands on its plant and animal inhabitants. Without regular cleaning, they are deprived of their basis of life when organic components such as leaves, dead aquatic plants or fish excrement sink to the bottom and start to rot. This is because substances are formed that are hostile to plants and aquatic animals, such as methane or sulfur compounds. The winter months are ideal for cleaning, because then fauna and flora take a break. Use this period and bring your pond or biotope back into ecological balance with the specialists from Marquis AG.
Tunnel cleaning
Some seepage water in tunnels contains lime. Therefore, the drainage pipes must be cleaned regularly, otherwise they become clogged. Our fleet is now highly specialized. For cleaning in tunnels, we have a very special, multifunctional cleaning vehicle built that can be used on both rails and tires. In addition to the road operation, this machine also has its own chassis for operation on rails.
Track cleaning
When it comes to the maintenance cleaning of track systems, Marquis AG is breaking new ground. The ingenious and simple construction of our device guarantees an excellent and powerful result in cleaning. Sustainable cleanliness for safe rail traffic and the value of your track systems.
Flushing new buildings after completion of construction
In order to guarantee the safe functioning of the house sewage system after completion of new buildings and conversions, it is recommended to flush the sewage and meteoric water pipes immediately before moving in. The sewage pipes are often misused during construction work as a disposal facility for liquid and even solid waste such as rubble, concrete, construction foam, tools, polystyrene, etc. This waste can get stuck in the sewage system and cause blockages.
We recommend:
- Clean the dirty water lines
- Flush floor drains in the basement, laundry room, electrical room, etc
- Flush roof water and seepage drains
- Empty sludge collectors and pump shafts
- Channel TV investigation
- Leak test
- Repeat flushing the new building after 2 years (before the construction guarantee expires)
- Needs-based sewer maintenance of the waste water and seepage drains every 2 to 5 years
Rinse pipe
With our special Bulldog rotating nozzles, we can efficiently flush any material (gravel, clay, earth) out of the drive-through pipes.
In addition, we can suck out the flushing water again with our flushing recycling vehicles and re-use it. No pumping equipment has to be installed in the excavation pits and there is no water loading time needed at an approved hydrant.
Preliminary investigation for sewage requests
A preliminary investigation for sewerage applications is now part of a building permit in most municipalities. The preliminary investigation shows the condition of the sewage pipes. The length, damage (such as roots, socket misalignment, cracks, shards, etc.), dimensions and materials are shown. The findings are given in a documented form (sewer TV protocol). In addition to the investigation, the current state of the sewage system is drawn on the plans, if it is not available as a sketch.
As a company of the Marquis Group, Aquatec Kanalsanierungen AG, supplements the range of services with sewer rehabilitation using the inliner method. We take over the entire renovation planning, from the needs analysis to the certificate, so that everything runs according to plan and without burden to you.

Real estate concept Quo-Vadis
"Just in Time" is the sustainable cleaning strategy for the entire sewage system of properties and an important component for future-oriented and sustainable property management. Our "just in time strategy" shows the immediate risk of blockages and the degree of contamination of the sewage system and the cleaning measures to be taken (low, budgetable, immediate). Let our specialists advise you today, free of charge and without obligation.
The owner of waste water systems must operate them professionally. This means that they must keep the systems in functional condition, identify deviations from normal operation, clarify their causes and rectify them immediately. In order to ensure this, it is essential that the systems are regularly serviced, maintained, cleaned and examined. We would be happy to advise you on this free of charge and without obligation.
House connection investigation
The house connection is the section of pipe between the building and the municipal sewage system. Or the line between the last manhole on your plot and the community sewer. Access is via an inspection opening or control shaft.
Every piece of sanitary equipment with a connection to the waste water pipe must be equipped with an odor trap (siphon, floor drain, drip water siphon, etc.). Due to its properties, the water evaporates in odor traps and is usually renewed again and again through the use of the sanitary facilities. If the sanitary facility, such as in the basement, is used rarely or not at all, the sealing water level is not renewed and unpleasant sewer gases (hydrogen sulfide compounds) escape.
As a solution to the above problems, we recommend a liquid that will ensure the sealing water level for a long time. This means there are no adverse effects from sewer gasses. It is easy to use, by applying a dose of the sealing liquid from the user-friendly 500ml bottle as required and filling it directly into the desired siphon.
