Septic installation in Georgina, Sutton and Keswick

The Town of Georgina Building Division, through its online Building Permit Application Portal. York Region does not issue it. If the lot is in an LSRCA regulated area, the conservation authority's approval can be needed too. We handle both.

If the system is within 100 metres of Lake Simcoe, or of a river or stream in the watershed, yes. Georgina inspects those systems every five years from the date they were built. A new system starts that clock again, and we build it to pass.

Not by law. The Town notes the Act does not require a re-inspection when a property is sold. Buyers and sellers often want one anyway. If an inspection says the system is done, we price the replacement in writing after one site visit.

Yes. We arrange the design and file the Part 8 sewage system permit with whichever office covers your property, a municipal building department or the health unit, and we book every inspection.

A conventional system for a typical home in Central Ontario runs about $15,000 to $30,000. Raised beds, tertiary units and difficult access push it higher. You get a written price after the site visit.

Three to five days on site for most systems. Add the permit lead time in front of that, which we manage and keep you posted on.

Sewage surfacing or a wet, spongy patch over the bed, slow drains through the whole house, gurgling, sewage smell outside, or an unusually green strip of lawn over the bed. If you see any of these, call. If it needs replacing we will tell you straight, and if it only needs a repair we will send you to someone who does repairs.

Yes. Where bedrock, a high water table or a small lot rules out a conventional bed, we install raised and filter beds and tertiary treatment units such as Waterloo Biofilter and Ecoflo.

Often, depending on frost depth and access. Frozen ground costs a bit more. If your system has failed and cannot wait for spring, call and we will tell you whether your site works in winter.
