Built for Your Property, From the Ground Down
Greendale's rural setting, acreages and established properties make site-specific septic planning particularly important. Every property has its own soil, drainage, available space and wastewater requirements, and those conditions should guide the system from the beginning. We handle the process from initial site assessment and septic design through excavation and installation, giving you one experienced team from start to finish.

Serving Greendale, BC
The amount of land available doesn't tell the whole story when it comes to septic design.
The location and condition of the usable soil, groundwater considerations, drainage, existing structures and future plans for the property all need to work together.
Our septic services include:
- Site assessments
- Septic system design
- Soil evaluations
- Excavation + site preparation
- Septic tank installation
- Drain field installation
- Pressure distribution systems
- Septic system replacements
- Repairs + upgrades
- Final grading + site restoration
By assessing these conditions before installation begins, we can design a system around the property rather than trying to make the property fit a predetermined system.

1. UNDERSTANDING THE PROPERTY
2. DESIGNING THE SYSTEM

What Determines the Right Septic System in Greendale?
A septic system that works well on one property isn't necessarily the right choice for the property next door.
Several factors determine how wastewater should be treated and dispersed, including:
Soil type + Usable soil depth
Groundwater + Drainage
Property size + Layout
Available dispersal area
Existing structures + Future development
Household size + Wastewater flow
Site access + Excavation requirements
Depending on these conditions, the appropriate design may include a conventional Type 1 system, pressure distribution or additional wastewater treatment.
Our job is to determine what the property needs and design accordingly.
Why Choose Kerkhoff Excavating + Septic?
21 Years of Experience
More than two decades in excavation and septic work has given us hands-on experience with the varied properties and ground conditions found throughout the Fraser Valley.
Professional Equipment
We operate professional equipment suited to septic installation, site preparation and the excavation work required around residential and rural properties.
Certified ROWP Expertise
Your septic project is guided by a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner who can assess the property and design an appropriate onsite wastewater system.
Rural Property Knowledge
Acreages and rural properties bring considerations beyond the septic system itself. Access, drainage, buildings, driveways and future development all need to be considered when planning where the system belongs.
Honest Advice
We recommend systems based on what the site requires rather than automatically choosing the most complex option.
Quality Workmanship
A septic system spends its working life underground, which makes getting the details right during installation particularly important. We install with long-term performance in mind.
Clear Communication
We'll explain what we're seeing on the property, what it means for your septic system and why we're recommending a particular approach.
