Septic installation in Uxbridge, Goodwood and Leaskdale

The Durham Region Health Department, on the Township's behalf. Uxbridge retained the Region to issue permits and inspect septic systems. We file the application and book the inspection.

Likely the Region's maintenance inspection under the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, for systems within 100 metres of watershed rivers, streams, lakes or ponds installed before 2016. It is visual. If it finds the system failing and past fixing, we price the replacement in writing after a site visit.

It drains well, so beds are rarely oversized for slow soil. The design effort goes into treatment and keeping clear of wells, since the same sand carries water to them. The test hole confirms what you have.

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.
