Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the right tank size for my property?
Tank size is based on number of bedrooms in your home, not number of occupants. Island Health provides sizing tables. We calculate exactly what your property requires.
What is a percolation test and why is it needed?
A percolation test measures how fast soil absorbs water. Results determine drain field size and whether a conventional or alternative treatment system is required. Required for all new installations.
How long does tank installation take?
Most tank installations take 2 to 5 days, including site assessment, excavation, tank placement, connection, backfill, and inspections. Weather and site conditions affect timelines.
Do you handle the permit process?
Yes, we manage all permitting for our clients, including applications, soil testing, system design, and coordinating with Island Health inspectors. You don’t need to navigate the process alone.
What happens to my old tank during replacement?
When replacing an existing tank, we safely decommission and remove the old tank according to regulations. Options include complete removal or crushing and filling in place. We handle everything.
