Home
Serving Delta, BC
Every onsite wastewater system needs to be designed around the conditions of the individual property.
Soil characteristics, groundwater, drainage, available dispersal area, household wastewater flow and the existing 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
We begin by understanding the property rather than assuming a particular system will work, allowing us to recommend a septic solution suited to the actual site conditions.

Choosing the Right Septic System
The right septic system for your Delta property depends on several factors, including:
Property size + Soil conditions
Available soil depth + Dispersal area
Drainage + Groundwater conditions
Household wastewater volume + Future property plans
Depending on what we find during the site assessment, the appropriate solution may be 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 the needs and limitations of your property.

Delta Septic FAQs
Septic systems in Delta must meet British Columbia's onsite wastewater requirements. Depending on the property and project, additional local requirements may also need to be considered. We help guide the onsite wastewater process and identify the requirements relevant to the proposed installation.
Septic installation costs depend on the individual property and system requirements. Soil conditions, groundwater, wastewater flow, system type, excavation, access and the dispersal area can all affect the final cost. A site assessment allows us to understand the property and provide a more accurate estimate.
There isn't one septic system that's appropriate for every property. Soil conditions and depth, groundwater, available space, drainage and expected wastewater flow all influence the design. We assess these conditions before determining which system options are suitable.
Yes. Groundwater, drainage and usable soil conditions can significantly influence septic system design and the location of the dispersal area. These conditions are evaluated as part of the site assessment before an appropriate system is designed.
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 the system design, soil conditions, household use and ongoing maintenance. Taking care of the system and avoiding excessive wastewater loading can help extend its working life.

I highly recommend Kerkhoff Excavating. Herman installed our new septic system. Communication, pricing and timing were all excellent. He certainly exceeded our expectations.
Herman was excellent. He came over to look one day and was there the next. He did a great job. He has 20 years of experience and it shows. He had a lot of connections for other trades! It was a pleasure doing business with him and we will always recommend him and have him back for other excavating needs!! Thanks Herman!
