What’s involved

In BC, a septic system is designed and registered by an authorized onsite wastewater practitioner, and the excavation has to follow that design exactly: tank depth, field layout, and the undisturbed soil the field depends on. Dig it wrong and the design doesn’t work.

We dig tanks, fields, and replacement systems to the practitioner’s drawings and work alongside them through the inspection stages. The field area gets treated gently: compacting the soil a field depends on is the fastest way to kill it.

FAQ

Common questions

Don’t see yours? Call (250) 575-6015 and we’ll talk it through.

Can you design my septic system?

No, and nobody should dig without a design. Systems here are designed and filed by a registered onsite wastewater practitioner; we excavate to their drawings and coordinate with them on timing.

How disturbed will my yard be?

A septic dig is a real dig, and there’s no way around that. What we control is the footprint and the restoration: machine paths planned, spoil managed, grade put back.

My field failed. Now what?

Call a practitioner first; the options depend on soil testing. Once the replacement is designed, we handle the removal and the new excavation.
