Septic installation in Bewdley, Gores Landing and Rice Lake

Northumberland County's inspection services, which handle septic permits in every member municipality except Trent Hills. We prepare the application and dig the test pits for the inspector.

Up to three. One can be acceptable, but the inspector can require a second and a third, and all of them come before the permit is issued. We dig them with our own machine on the day the inspector comes.

It might. Bewdley, Cold Springs and parts of Gores Landing sit inside the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan area, where development follows the plan's rural settlement policies. We check your lot's designation before planning the bed, especially if the house is getting bigger.

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.
