Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an engineer to plan and repair my septic system?

No, generally a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner (ROWP) can plan and install a system. An owner must use the services of an authorized professional engineer or an ROWP to construct, alter or repair a sewage disposal system. An engineer is required when the daily design flows exceed 9,100 L or when the Standard Practice Manual 3 cannot be met.

What is the difference between a gravity system and a pressurized system?

A gravity system relies on gravity to distribute effluent. It tends to be cheaper and easier to maintain; HOWEVER, not all sites or homes allow for gravity distribution.


A pressurized system uses a pump to get the effluent to the distribution field. It tends to cost more than a gravity system; HOWEVER, sometimes pressure is required and these systems tend to last longer and preform better.

How do I get started?

We are happy to discuss your options and schedule at any time. Generally we begin the process with a site and soil visit. Using information gathered this day as well as information provided by you in the form of a Property Owner’s Declaration, we produce a Record or Sewerage System to be filed with Interior Health. This filing is valid for two years.
