Septic installation in Clarington, from Hampton to Newtonville

The Durham Region Health Department. Clarington issues the building permit for the house, and the Health Department issues the sewage system permit. We file the septic application for you.

Often. The Health Department's septic record search covers properties that applied from 1974 on, takes up to 10 business days and is open to the owner, the owner's designate or the listing agent. Older systems may have no record at all.

The old Lake Iroquois beach sands there fill with snowmelt every spring and drain slowly over the year. The bed has to sit above that seasonal high, so the test hole timing and reading set the design height.

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.
