Code-Compliant Systems, Clean Excavation, and Reliable Service Lines
From new septic installs to utility trenches for water, hydro, gas, and communications—we design, excavate, bed, install, and backfill properly. Serving Georgian Bay & Simcoe County.
Septic Done Right from Day One
Septic systems only work as well as the assessment, excavation, and backfill behind them. We align the house plumbing, tank, treatment unit (where specified), and leaching bed with accurate elevations, proper bedding, and inspection-ready workmanship. No shortcuts—just a clean, code-compliant install that drains and ventilates correctly.
- Site assessment, elevations, and layout to plan
- Clean excavations, proper bedding & cover materials
- Tanks, pump chambers, distribution boxes installed level
- Leaching beds trenched with consistent slope & spacing
- Inspection coordination and as-built documentation
What We Install
- Concrete or poly septic tanks (new or replacements)
- Conventional trench or bed systems (per design)
- Advanced/treatment units where specified
- Pump chambers, alarms, and control conduits
- Effluent lines, venting, and distribution components
We coordinate with your designer/engineer and local authorities for permits and inspections.
Trenching for Water, Hydro, Gas & Communications
Service trenches need correct depth, separation, warning tape, and bedding to protect lines for decades. We trench cleanly, place conduits/lines to spec, and backfill/compact in lifts for a stable surface above.
- Water service & heat-trace (where required)
- Hydro conduits with pull strings & marker tape
- Gas/propane service coordination with utilities
- Low-voltage conduits (internet/phone/gate)
- Road/driveway crossings with proper sleeves
We call in utility locates and maintain required separations between gas, hydro, water, and communications per authority requirements.
Materials & Methods
PVC/ABS drain lines SDR-35/pressure pipe (as specified) Washed sand bedding Granular A/B backfill Warning/marker tape Electrical/comm. conduits
We use laser levels for elevations, compact in lifts, and keep photographic records for your file and future reference.
Our Process
1) Site Review & Permits
We confirm soil reports/design drawings, setbacks, and inspection requirements. Utility locates are requested before any digging.
2) Layout & Elevations
Tank/bed locations are staked; invert elevations, slopes, and service depths are set with laser levels to avoid rework.
3) Excavation & Bedding
Clean cuts, stable sidewalls, and undisturbed subgrade for beds. Sand bedding placed to spec for lines and tanks.
4) Installation
Tanks, chambers, lines, and conduits set to grade. We check slopes, levels, and separations before backfill.
5) Inspection
We coordinate inspection with the authority having jurisdiction; any adjustments are handled same-day where possible.
6) Backfill & Final Grade
Compaction in lifts, marker tape where required, and final shaping for positive drainage. As-builts and photos provided.

Septic & Trenching — FAQs
Do I need permits for a new or replacement septic?
Yes—new systems and most replacements require design, approval, and inspection by the local authority. We coordinate with your designer/engineer and handle the schedule.
Who calls in utility locates?
We request utility locates before trenching. Private lines (e.g., to a shed) must also be identified to avoid damage.
Can you trench multiple services in the same corridor?
Often yes—with correct separations, depths, and sleeves. Hydro, gas, water, and communications are routed to meet authority requirements.
What maintenance does a septic system need?
Regular tank pumping, filter cleaning (if installed), and keeping heavy vehicles off leaching areas. We provide a handover sheet with intervals.
How long does a typical install take?
Small replacements can be completed in 1–3 days; new builds with bed construction and multiple trenches usually run 3–7 days, depending on inspection windows and weather.
