Drain Field Replacement& Leaching Beds
When your septic field is saturated or failing, we design and build a new leaching bed that is engineered for your soil and approved through your municipality.
Drain Field Replacement & Leaching Beds
A failed drain field usually shows up as soggy ground, odours, or slow drains that never really clear. Replacing the field means digging out the old bed and building a new one that is engineered for your soil.
Our licensed septic specialist performs the soil percolation tests and completes the bed design, files for the municipal building permit, excavates and installs the new bed, and arranges the final inspection. If your lot calls for an advanced tertiary system, we install those too.
