Septic installation in Omemee, Bethany and Pontypool

The City of Kawartha Lakes Building and Septic Division, through the Septic Inspector for your inspection area. Sewage inspectors take calls at 705-324-9411. We prepare the application and meet the inspector on site.

Often. The City holds most sewage system records back to 1974, though some files from before 2001 may not have been kept by the former township. A records search shows the components, a sketch of the installed system and its capacity, which helps us size the replacement.

For a due-diligence answer, the City's Building and Septic Division issues a Building and Septic Compliance Letter on request. We do not inspect systems ourselves, but if the system needs replacing, you get a written price after one site visit.

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.
