Secondary treatment systems such as Bionest, Ecoflo, Enviro-Septic and Hydro-Kinetic, as well as tertiary systems with UV lamps or DPEC technology, can also be installed.

A septic field completes the work of the septic tank by treating wastewater from toilets, showers, sinks and other household plumbing fixtures.

The septic tank first breaks down organic matter, after which the water is directed to the septic field where it is filtered and purified.

The treated water then infiltrates into the soil and groundwater, where it is naturally filtered again by microorganisms.

There are different types of septic fields, including gravity-fed systems and pump-assisted systems.

Strict regulations govern the installation and operation of septic fields to ensure they function efficiently and comply with the standards established by the Ministry of the Environment..

Before installation, a soil specialist must perform a percolation test in accordance with regulation Q-2, r.22 concerning wastewater disposal systems.

This test determines the soil’s capacity to absorb and filter wastewater. The results help identify the type of septic field system that is best suited to the property.

Our team first installs the septic tank reservoirs, then excavates trenches to install the perforated pipes leading to the septic field. The septic field itself is installed underground in the location designated by the soil specialist.

Before the installation is finalized and the septic system is put into operation, it must be approved by the engineer responsible for the project.

Our team then backfills the system and levels the area. Sod installation is also available upon request.

Lower cost: the purchase and installation cost is generally lower than many other wastewater treatment systems.

Energy efficient: compared to certain other wastewater treatment systems, a septic field requires very little energy to operate because the treatment process occurs naturally.!

Blends well with the property: grass can be planted over the septic field, minimizing its visual impact on the landscape.

Reduces soil contaminants: the microorganisms found within septic fields help reduce soil contamination.

Long lifespan: a septic field can last between 25 and 50 years, depending on the quality of the system and the maintenance performed.
