Our Septic Installation Process

1. SITE ASSESSMENT

Every installation begins with evaluating your property. We assess soil conditions, available space, drainage characteristics and site layout to determine the most suitable septic system.

2. SYSTEM DESIGN

Using the site information, we design a septic system that complies with British Columbia regulations while meeting the needs of your home and property.

3. PERMITTING

We help ensure all required documentation and approvals are completed before installation begins.

4. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

Our experienced team carefully installs the septic tank, distribution system and drain field using quality materials and precise excavation practices.

5. FINAL INSPECTION

Before the project is complete, we verify that every component has been installed correctly and the system is ready for reliable operation.

Choosing the Right Septic System

The right septic system depends on several factors, including:

 

Property size + Soil type

Drainage conditions + Groundwater levels

Household wastewater volume + Future property plans

 

Depending on your property, we may recommend conventional gravity systems, pressure distribution systems or advanced treatment systems. We'll explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision.

I highly recommend Kerkhoff Excavating. Herman installed our new septic system. Communication, pricing and timing were all excellent. He certainly exceeded our expectations.

Gordon, Abbotsford, BC

If you need any septic systems installed or fixed - Kerkhoff is the best! Also highly recommend them for any excavation work. I use them for all of the above and have never been disappointed. Quality company doing great work! 10 / 10!

Justin, Chilliwack, BC

I used Kerkhoff Excavating on a new home project in Langley. All I can say is Herman is a straight shooter. The way I see it is company's are built on trust and integrity and Herman possesses both. Not only are his prices reasonable, but he is more than willing to go above and beyond. I would highly recommend.
