Septic System Installation

Septic Medics can design and install a septic system for your household needs that exceeds government regulations & requirements.

We’ll create a septic system solution specifically for your property, whether you’re constructing a new home or replacing an existing septic system.

If your home doesn’t have a central wastewater system, you need a septic system. However, not all septic systems are alike. We come to your property, consider factors like the number of people in your home, water usage, soil testing, and land size, and then design a new septic system.

Throughout the project, Septic Medic handles all the necessary permits, inspections, and provincial requirements. As a trusted expert in the field, we ensure a reliable and compliant full septic system design and installation following the regulations of the Government of Alberta and Government of Canada.

What is the cost of a new septic system?

When homeowners plan for a new septic system, one of their initial questions is usually about the cost of designing and installing it. Several factors contribute to the total cost, such as the tank’s size and type, the number of bedrooms, the home’s location, and the available land size. Using the most cost effective and environmentally friendly approach, we create the most suitable system for your home.

Since costs can vary, there isn’t a fixed average price. However, our prices align with industry standards. We provide reasonable payment options, financing (subject to approval), and a consultation with an estimate for our services, without any obligation.

Understanding how your septic system works

Knowledge is crucial, and the more you understand your septic system, the better you can catch issues early and keep your system healthy. Our certified technicians will take the time to explain how your septic system functions, suggest maintenance, and highlight any potential problems.

A septic system generally follows these steps:

The septic tank gathers all household wastewater, including from toilets, baths, kitchen, and laundry.
The tank holds the wastewater, allowing solids to settle at the bottom (sludge), and oils and grease to float to the top (scum).
Partially treated/separated wastewater goes to a drainage area (field, mound, etc.).
As wastewater passes through the soil, microorganisms remove any remaining pollutants, and the filtered water is recycled.

All septic systems will eventually have issues. However, a well-designed system tailored to your property can make a significant difference between one that functions well for many years and one that causes problems prematurely.
