Serving Sunshine Valley

A mountain property doesn't always offer the straightforward conditions of a flat, open lot.

Slope, soil depth, available dispersal area, groundwater, property access and expected wastewater flow can all affect where and how a septic system is installed. Our septic installation services include:

  • Site assessments
  • Septic system design
  • Soil evaluations
  • Excavation and site preparation
  • Septic tank installation
  • Drain field installation
  • Septic system replacements
  • Repairs and upgrades
  • Final grading and site restoration

 

We look at the property as a whole before recommending a system, allowing the septic design to respond to the actual conditions found on your Sunshine Valley property.

Our Septic Installation Process

1. SITE ASSESSMENT

We begin by assessing the soil, terrain, available space, drainage conditions, access and overall property layout. On mountain properties, understanding how all of these elements work together is an important part of planning the system.

2. SYSTEM DESIGN

Using the information gathered on site, we design a septic system around your property's conditions and expected wastewater flow while meeting British Columbia's onsite wastewater requirements.

3. PERMITTING

We help ensure the required documentation and filings are completed before the installation moves forward.

4. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

Our experienced team completes the excavation and installs the septic tank, distribution components and drain field according to the system design. We plan the work carefully around the terrain, access and existing features of the property.

5. FINAL INSPECTION

Once installation is complete, we verify that the components have been installed according to the design and the system is ready for operation.

Choosing the Right Septic System

The right septic system for a Sunshine Valley property depends on what the site allows. Important considerations can include:

 

Slope + Available dispersal area

Property size + Soil type

Drainage conditions + Groundwater levels

Household wastewater volume + Future property plans

 

Depending on these conditions, the appropriate solution may be a conventional gravity system, pressure distribution system or a system incorporating advanced treatment. Rather than starting with a particular type of system, we start with the property. From there, we can explain which options are appropriate and why.

Justin, Chilliwack, BC

He gave my dad a quote quickly and made the whole process easy. On site he was focused skilled moving fast on and off his equipment. When necessary he made discussion quickly, he consult with him and was willing to helped him in anyway needed. He did the septic field and several other difficult jobs my dad had on the property. I got more work done at a lower price without complication because of his professional. My dad would not hesitate to call Herman first when he needs skilled, honest, and reliable service done.

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.
