Septic System Installation in the Comox Valley
We design and install Type 1 and 2 systems, and install Type 3 systems built to a professional's design for you.
Courtenay Septic Systems designs and installs Type 1 and Type 2 septic systems, and installs Type 3 systems built to a professional's design, for Comox Valley properties in Black Creek, Royston, Union Bay and Merville. We file your system with Island Health before we break ground, sized to BC's Sewerage System Regulation effluent-quality classes.
Design and filing typically run $2,000 to $5,200 across BC, before the system itself.
What size system does your property need?
We size your system to your lot, your soil and how many bedrooms your home has — a three-bedroom house on sandy ground needs a different design than the same house on clay. A Type 1 setup gives you a standard septic tank plus a drain field. Type 2 treats effluent to under 45 mg/L of suspended solids and biochemical oxygen demand. Type 3 takes it to under 10 mg/L, with fecal coliform under 400 CFU/100 mL, for tighter lots or sensitive sites.
How close can a system sit to your well or the water?
We keep your system at least 30 metres from a well, 3 metres from a property line, and 15 metres from a breakout point to meet requirements.
Who files the paperwork?
Our own Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner designs your Type 1 or Type 2 system and files it directly with Island Health for you. You get a Letter of Certification within 30 days of us finishing.
