Excavation and site preparation for a new septic system in Dewdney, BC

Our Septic Installation Process

1. SITE + SOIL ASSESSMENT

We begin by evaluating soil characteristics, usable soil depth, drainage, groundwater considerations, available dispersal area and expected wastewater flow. We also look at existing buildings, driveways and access.

2. SEPTIC SYSTEM DESIGN

Using the information gathered during the assessment, we develop a septic design suited to the property's conditions and intended use, following applicable BC onsite wastewater requirements.

3. DOCUMENTATION + FILING

We prepare the required septic documentation and filings before installation begins, ensuring the system can be constructed according to the design.

4. EXCAVATION + INSTALLATION

Our excavation team prepares the site and installs the septic tank, piping, distribution components and dispersal field. We consider grades, equipment access and existing property features throughout the work.

5. FINAL CHECK + COMPLETION

Once installation is finished, the system is checked against the design and the necessary completion documentation and site finishing are addressed.

Choosing the Right Septic System in Dewdney

Properties in Dewdney can have different soil and drainage characteristics, even within a relatively small area. A septic system that works well on one property may not be appropriate for another.

Before recommending a design, we consider:

Soil Type + Usable Depth

Groundwater + Seasonal Conditions

Available Dispersal Area

Household Wastewater Flow

Property Layout + Future Plans

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

I highly recommend Kerkhoff Excavating. Herman installed our new septic system. Communication, pricing and timing were all excellent. He certainly exceeded our expectations.

Gordon, Abbotsford, BC

If you need any septic systems installed or fixed - Kerkhoff is the best! Also highly recommend them for any excavation work. I use them for all of the above and have never been disappointed. Quality company doing great work! 10 / 10!

Justin, Chilliwack, BC

I used Kerkhoff Excavating on a new home project in Langley. All I can say is Herman is a straight shooter. The way I see it is company's are built on trust and integrity and Herman possesses both. Not only are his prices reasonable, but he is more than willing to go above and beyond. I would highly recommend.
