Septic installation in Gravenhurst, Bracebridge and Muskoka Lakes

The building department of the municipality your lot is in: Gravenhurst, Bracebridge or Muskoka Lakes. We handle the application and the inspections.

It is the usual answer where bedrock is shallow. Where the lot is too small or too close to the water for any bed, a tertiary treatment unit lets the system meet code in less space. The site visit tells us which.

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.
