Serving Aldergrove, BC

A properly designed septic system needs to work with both the home and the land.

Before determining the system type or placement, we consider the site’s soil conditions, expected wastewater flow, dispersal area and existing or planned property features.

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 site assessment allows us to develop a septic solution based on what your property actually requires.

Our Septic Installation Process

1. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT

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

2. SYSTEM DESIGN

Once we understand the property conditions and expected wastewater flow, we design an onsite wastewater system that meets the needs of the project and British Columbia's requirements.

3. DOCUMENTATION + FILING

We prepare the required septic documentation and filings before installation so the system can be constructed according to its design.

4. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

This is where design and excavation experience come together. Our team prepares the site and installs the septic tank, piping, distribution components and dispersal field according to the design.

5. FINAL CHECK + COMPLETION

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

Choosing the Right Septic System in Aldergrove

A larger property doesn't automatically mean a simpler septic system. Soil conditions, groundwater, drainage and where the usable dispersal area sits on the property can be just as important as lot size.

We consider:

Soil type + Usable soil depth

Drainage + Groundwater

Available dispersal area

Property size + Layout

Terrain + Grades

Household wastewater flow

Existing + Future Structures

Equipment + Site Access

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

Our recommendations are based on the site assessment rather than starting with a predetermined system.

Experience with Rural + Remote Properties

Septic systems on acreages and rural properties need to work with the land, access, existing structures and available space. We consider the property as a whole when planning the installation.

Honest Advice

We don't start with a particular septic product and try to make the property fit it. We assess the site first, then recommend the system that makes sense for the conditions we find.

Quality Workmanship

Small details during excavation, grading and installation can affect how a septic system performs years later. We approach the work with that long-term picture in mind.

Clear Communication

Septic systems can become technical quickly. We explain the important information clearly, including what we found on site, which options are available and why we're recommending a particular approach.
