Septic Expertise for Rural Properties

Property conditions can vary considerably, particularly when terrain, access and available space come into play. Soil, drainage, groundwater considerations and the location of existing structures can all influence where and how a septic system should be installed.
We assess these conditions first, then design and install a system suited to the property.

Serving Boston Bar, BC

A septic system has to do more than fit on the property.

It needs to provide appropriate wastewater treatment and dispersal while working within the site’s soil conditions, terrain, layout and usable space.

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

 

Starting with a thorough site assessment allows us to understand the property before determining the appropriate septic design.

Our Septic Installation Process

1. EVALUATE THE PROPERTY

We assess soil conditions, usable soil depth, drainage, groundwater considerations, terrain, available dispersal area, property layout and site access.

2. DEVELOP THE SEPTIC DESIGN

We use what we learn from the property assessment, along with the home's expected wastewater flow, to develop a septic system suited to the site.

3. COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION + FILING

The required septic documentation and filings are prepared so the system can be installed according to its design and applicable BC onsite wastewater requirements.

4. EXCAVATE + INSTALL

We prepare the site and install the septic tank, piping, distribution components and dispersal field. Our excavation experience is particularly valuable when working with properties where terrain or access requires additional planning.

5. FINAL CHECK + SITE COMPLETION

Once installation is finished, the system is checked against the design and the site is completed for the next stage of the project.

Choosing a Septic System for a Boston Bar Property

Septic design is property-specific. Two properties in the same area can require different approaches based on what is happening beneath the surface and how each site is laid out.

Factors we consider include:

Soil type + Usable soil depth

Terrain + Slope

Drainage + Groundwater

Available dispersal area

Property size + Layout

Household wastewater flow

Existing + Future Structures

Equipment + Site Access

Depending on the property assessment, the appropriate design may involve a conventional Type 1 system, pressure distribution or additional wastewater treatment.

Our approach is to use the site conditions to guide the design rather than assuming which system a property needs.

Herman was more than helpful in helping not only come up with but also implement a plan to assist in drainage issue we were having in our front yard. He was punctual, efficient, and cost effective and was always excellent at communicating. I would not hesitate to use his services again in the future!

Herman from Kerkhoff Excavating has completed 2 projects for me recently. I can't emphasize enough what a great experience it has been to deal with this company. Herman went above and beyond what was expected. He helped out with last minute, much needed supplies, contacted other contractors to come and help out on short notice and completed the work in record time and within budget. After 30 years in business as a consultant, contractor and planner, I can say, this company really cares. Highly recommended!
