Serving the mid-Island
Septic work on property with no sewer connection
Cedar, Yellow Point, Lantzville, Nanoose Bay and Gabriola Island — acreage and island properties where the soil, the well and the setbacks decide what can be built.
Nanaimo Septic Systems covers four service lines for property with no sewer connection: new system installation, inspections, field repairs and tank servicing. System type is set by the effluent standard the soil can support — Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 — not by the equipment a supplier happens to stock.
Four service lines cover the life of an onsite system: putting one in, checking one over, fixing the part that failed, and keeping the tank from becoming the reason the field fails. Which one a property needs is usually settled by what a site visit finds, not by what the symptom looked like.
The four service lines
- New System InstallationNew onsite septic systems designed around soil depth, slope and the 30 m well setback, filed with Island Health before construction begins.
- System InspectionsSeptic inspections covering tank condition, disposal field performance, and the filing and maintenance records a property should already hold.
- Field RepairsRepair and replacement of failing septic disposal fields, from surfacing effluent and saturated ground to systems that were never filed or certified.
- Tank ServicingSeptic tank pumping intervals, effluent filter cleaning, riser installation and the maintenance records an onsite system is required to keep.
