The Okanagan Valley is a beautiful place to build a home, but the terrain can be tricky. From Upper Fintry to Vernon, we see a wide mix of rock, clay, and slopes.
Before you sign the papers on a new plot of land, ask yourself: Is this lot buildable for a septic system?
Don’t Guess on the Soil Just because a neighbor has a septic system doesn’t mean your lot will support one easily. Shallow bedrock or a high water table can make a standard installation impossible or significantly more expensive.
The Value of a Pre-Purchase Consultation We recommend conducting a preliminary site evaluation before finalizing your land purchase. This small step can save you from buying a “non-buildable” lot or facing unexpected costs down the road.
