Choosing the Right Septic System in Matsqui
The right septic system depends on more than the size of your home. In rural areas such as Matsqui, factors like soil permeability, groundwater conditions and existing land use can influence how a system should be designed.
We consider:
Soil Type + Usable Depth
The soil's ability to receive and treat wastewater helps determine the appropriate system design.
Groundwater + Drainage
Seasonal groundwater conditions and drainage patterns can influence where and how wastewater is dispersed.
Property Layout + Available Space
Existing buildings, driveways, property boundaries and suitable dispersal areas all need to be considered.
Household Wastewater Flow
The size and intended use of the home influence the design requirements.
Future Property Plans
Planning for additions, new structures or other improvements can help avoid conflicts with the septic system later.
Depending on the site assessment, your property may be suited to a Type 1 system, pressure distribution or a system with 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.
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!
