Question 1

How much does a new septic system cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary widely based on system type, soil conditions, lot layout, and local code requirements. Conventional systems are typically less expensive than alternative systems required by challenging sites. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit so there are no surprises.

Question 2

How long does septic installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential installs are completed in 2–5 days of on-site work once permits are in hand and the site is prepared. The full timeline including design, permitting, and inspection is typically 4–8 weeks depending on local approvals.

Question 3

Do you handle the permits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design the system, prepare the engineering drawings if required, and submit everything to your local health unit or municipality on your behalf. You'll know exactly what's happening at each stage.

Question 4

What kind of septic systems do you install?

Accepted Answer

We install conventional gravity systems, raised beds, mound systems, tertiary treatment systems, and other alternatives required by site conditions. We'll recommend the right system for your soil and lot during the design phase.

Question 5

How long will my new septic system last?

Accepted Answer

A properly designed and installed septic system, with regular pumping every 2–5 years, can last 25–40 years or more. The biggest factors are tank pump-out frequency, what you put down the drain, and how well the drain field is protected from compaction.
