Septic installation in Mount Albert and East Gwillimbury

The Town of East Gwillimbury, through a building permit for the private sewage system. York Region does not issue it. We file the application with the Town and book the inspections.

Yes. East Gwillimbury's maintenance program includes systems near York Region drinking water wells, mapped as wellhead protection areas, alongside those near Lake Simcoe and its watercourses. Those systems need an inspection every five years by a qualified person.

The Schomberg Clay Plain. LSRCA describes fine-grained sediment about 15 metres thick near Mount Albert and Ravenshoe, and clay moves water slowly. Slow soil needs more area to treat the same flow, or a raised bed on imported sand. The test hole decides.

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.

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.
