Embarking on building that dream workshop, a beautiful new backyard pool, or a much-needed home addition is an exciting time! As you prepare for the heavy machinery, taking a moment to plan for one of your home’s important, proactive considerations—your septic system—ensures a seamless and successful build.
If you discover that your existing septic tank or dispersal field is located within your new building’s footprint, this is an excellent opportunity for strategic planning. This is because standard procedures require a specific, professionally handled process for old components rather than just moving them.
Health regulations in British Columbia (especially within the Interior Health region) and practical physics provide clear guidelines for a professional, seamless process. This ensures any old components in the construction path are officially and properly handled through formal procedures, while brand-new, expert components are custom-designed and installed in a different, compliant location on your lot.
If you are facing this strategic step, Affordable Septic is here to support your construction project. Here is exactly how we help:
