Septic systems in Ontario must be installed by qualified professionals under the Ontario Building Code (Part 8) and provincial standards. Our installs are septic-certified [TENANT TO CONFIRM] and built to code.
Why septic matters on Kawartha lots
Most rural and waterfront properties in the Kawarthas are not on municipal sewers, so a sound septic system protects both your home and the lake. Shallow soil, high water tables near shore, and rock all affect which system fits, and getting it wrong is expensive. We design for your specific lot, not a one-size template.
