Choosing the Right Septic System
The right septic system for your Maple Ridge property depends on several factors, including:
Property size + Soil conditions
Slope + Available dispersal area
Drainage + Groundwater conditions
Household wastewater volume + Future property plans
Depending on what we find during the site assessment, the appropriate solution may be a conventional gravity system, pressure distribution system or a system incorporating advanced treatment. We'll explain the options clearly and recommend a solution based on what your property actually requires.

Maple Ridge Septic FAQs
Septic systems in Maple Ridge must meet British Columbia's onsite wastewater requirements. Depending on the property and project, additional local requirements may also need to be considered. We help guide the onsite wastewater process and identify the steps relevant to the proposed installation.
Septic installation costs depend on the individual property and system requirements. Soil conditions, slope, groundwater, wastewater flow, system type, excavation, access and the dispersal area can all affect the final cost. A site assessment allows us to understand the property and provide a more accurate estimate.
There isn't one septic system that's suitable for every property. Soil conditions and depth, slope, groundwater, available space, drainage and expected wastewater flow all influence the design. We assess these conditions before determining which system options are appropriate.
Potentially. Slope can influence system location, distribution, excavation and the available dispersal area, but it doesn't automatically rule out septic installation. A site assessment is needed to determine which options may be suitable for the property.
Yes. We install replacement septic systems as well as systems for new construction. If an existing system is aging, failing or no longer suitable for the property, we can assess the site and determine appropriate replacement options.
A properly designed, installed and maintained septic system can often last 30 years or more. Its lifespan depends on the system design, soil conditions, household use and ongoing maintenance. Proper care and avoiding excessive wastewater loading can help extend its working life.

I highly recommend Kerkhoff Excavating. Herman installed our new septic system. Communication, pricing and timing were all excellent. He certainly exceeded our expectations.
Herman was excellent. He came over to look one day and was there the next. He did a great job. He has 20 years of experience and it shows. He had a lot of connections for other trades! It was a pleasure doing business with him and we will always recommend him and have him back for other excavating needs!! Thanks Herman!
