One of the first questions we hear from homeowners in the Okanagan and across BC is: “How much will my septic system cost?”
While it’s tempting to look for a simple price tag, the reality is that every property is unique. In British Columbia, costs can vary significantly based on several key factors:
- Soil Type: Rocky terrain or clay soils (common in our area) often require more complex designs than sandy soil.
- System Type: A gravity-fed system is generally less expensive than a Type 2 or Type 3 system aimed at difficult sites.
- Property Slope: Building on a hillside requires different engineering than building on flat land.
- Size of Home: The number of bedrooms determines the expected wastewater volume.
Why “Affordable” Means “Designed Right”
The most expensive septic system is one that fails prematurely. A cheap installation that ignores soil science can lead to environmental damage and costly repairs within just a few years.
