Bridal Falls Septic Services

Designed for the Land, Built for the Long Term

Soil, terrain, drainage, available space and property layout all play a role in septic design. Rather than beginning with a predetermined system, we start by assessing the property and understanding what the site can support.
From there, we can take your project through septic design, excavation and installation with one experienced team.

Serving Bridal Falls, BC

A properly planned septic system considers both what's happening below ground and how the property will be used above it.

The home, driveway, structures, access and future plans can all affect where the system and dispersal area should be located.

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

 

Assessing the property first gives us the information needed to design a system around actual site conditions.

Our Septic Installation Process

1. ASSESS THE LAND

We evaluate the property's soil, usable soil depth, drainage, groundwater considerations, terrain, available dispersal area, site access and expected wastewater flow.

2. DESIGN THE SEPTIC SYSTEM

The site assessment guides the design. We determine an appropriate approach based on the property conditions, intended use and applicable BC onsite wastewater requirements.

3. PREPARE DOCUMENTATION + FILING

The required septic documentation and filings are completed before installation so the system can be constructed according to its design.

4. EXCAVATE + INSTALL

We prepare the site and install the septic tank, piping, distribution components and dispersal field. Having excavation experience in-house allows practical considerations such as grades and equipment access to be addressed throughout the installation.

5. FINAL CHECK + COMPLETION

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

Planning a Septic System in Bridal Falls

The right septic system isn't determined by property size alone. What's happening within the soil and how the usable portion of the property is laid out can be just as important.

We consider:

Soil type + Usable soil depth

Terrain + Slope

Drainage + Groundwater

Available dispersal area

Property layout

Expected wastewater flow

Existing + Future Structures

Equipment + Site Access

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

The goal is to design a system that meets the property's needs without adding unnecessary complexity.

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!
