We evaluate site conditions to determine optimal system types, ensuring compliance with Alberta Municipal Affairs standards while maximizing cost-efficiency for homeowners and contractors. Our designs include comprehensive schematics and documentation required for permit applications.
Soil Evaluation
Soil evaluation determines the most suitable septic system for your property by analyzing soil texture, structure, and permeability. We conduct field tests and lab analysis to identify limiting layers, ensuring accurate system sizing and placement that meets provincial code requirements for long-term performance and environmental protection.
Permit Assistance
We provide complete permit assistance for septic system installations, including preparation of technical documentation and coordination with local authorities. Our expertise ensures all regulatory submissions meet Alberta's private sewage regulations, streamlining approval processes for residential and commercial developments.
Commercial Septic Solutions
Commercial septic solutions address high-volume wastewater needs for businesses and institutions. We design systems that accommodate increased usage while maintaining environmental compliance, incorporating advanced treatment methods like sand mounds or secondary treatment plants where soil conditions require specialized approaches.

Residential septic systems provide reliable wastewater treatment for single-family homes and acreages. We design conventional two-compartment tanks with trench fields or alternative systems based on site conditions, ensuring proper effluent treatment through natural soil processes while meeting Alberta's minimum 5-foot soil depth requirements.
