Complete Septic System Installation Services

Home

Serving Agassiz, BC

A reliable septic system begins with understanding what's happening on the property, both above and below the surface.

Soil conditions, available space, groundwater, drainage, household wastewater flow and property layout can all influence the appropriate septic design. 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

 

Rather than approaching every installation the same way, we assess the individual property and design a system around its actual conditions and requirements.

Our Septic Installation Process

1. SITE ASSESSMENT

Every project starts with the property. We assess soil conditions, available space, drainage characteristics, groundwater considerations and the site layout to understand which septic options may be appropriate.

2. SYSTEM DESIGN

Using the information gathered during the site assessment, we design a septic system around the needs of your home and property while meeting British Columbia's onsite wastewater requirements.

3. PERMITTING

We help ensure the necessary documentation and filings are completed before installation begins.

4. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

Our experienced team completes the excavation and installs the septic tank, distribution components and drain field according to the system design, using professional equipment and careful excavation practices.

5. FINAL INSPECTION

Before completing the project, we verify that the septic system has been installed according to the design and is ready for reliable operation.

Choosing the Right Septic System

The right septic system for a Agassiz property depends on several factors, including:

Property size + Soil type

Available soil depth + Dispersal area

Drainage conditions + Groundwater levels

Household wastewater volume + Future property plans

Depending on what we find during the site assessment, your property may be suited to a conventional gravity system, pressure distribution system or a system incorporating advanced treatment. We'll explain the available options clearly and recommend a solution based on what your property actually requires.

The cost of a septic installation depends on the individual property and system requirements. Soil conditions, wastewater flow, system type, excavation, access and the dispersal area can all affect the final cost. A site assessment allows us to determine what's required and provide a more accurate estimate.

There isn't one septic system that's right for every property. Soil conditions and depth, available space, groundwater, drainage and expected wastewater flow all influence septic design. We assess the property before determining which system options are appropriate.

Yes. The soil beneath a property is an important part of an onsite wastewater system, while groundwater and other limiting conditions can influence where and how a system can be installed. These conditions are evaluated as part of the site assessment and septic design process.

Yes. We install replacement septic systems as well as systems for new construction. If an existing system is aging, failing or no longer appropriate for the property, we can assess the site and determine suitable replacement options.

A properly designed, installed and maintained septic system can often last 30 years or more. Its lifespan depends on factors such as soil conditions, system type, household use and regular maintenance. Proper care and avoiding overloading the system can help extend its working life.

Herman is great at what he does, and so nice to deal with. He is kind, professional, honest and thorough. We hired him for a new driveway job. He made the entire process smooth, straight-forward and quick. We were very happy with Kerkhoff excavating and would recommend Herman for any excavating projects in Chilliwack and beyond.

Supreet, Chilliwack, BC

Kerkhoff Excavating and Septic did a nice job decommissioning our existing septic field and tying our home into the community sewer system. Part of the installation included operating his excavator close to trees and buildings. We found Herman to be careful and thorough. Using his laser, Herman demonstrated to us that there was sufficient decline to the installed piping before backfilling. We highly recommend using Kerkhoff Excavating and Septic.
