When it comes to the expenses you don’t want to incur in your lifetime, installing a septic system is probably at the top of the list. If you’re moving to a less urban area, your future property may not be connected to a municipal sewage system… If you’re not part of a municipality’s collective sewage network, it’s mandatory to ensure that your liquid sewage is correctly collected, treated and discharged. This means building an independent septic system tailored to your needs! When it comes to replacing or installing your septic tank, you can count on the real experts to help you find the best solution for your needs. From digging to earthworks to system installation, Excavation Rive-Sud is with you every step of the way.

The septic system is a vital part of your property and is usually made up of two distinct components: the septic tank and the drain field/cleaner.

The purifier is the most important part of a septic installation. It purifies the liquid sewage accumulated by the septic tank.

Various types of plants are now available on the market to meet increasingly tight space requirements and environmental imperatives.

When choosing our septic solution, it’s important to take certain criteria into consideration: 

• Soil composition
• Topography (slope)
• Available surface area
• Non-collective Public Sanitation Service zoning
• Family needs and priorities
• Customer’s budget

The best way to ensure that your installation will stand the test of time is to rely on our experts. Ask for a free quotation, and we’ll take the time to explain the various options available to you, and the budget implications.

Advanced Enviro Septic technology is a perforated pipe made of high-density polyethylene. It is surrounded by a polypropylene fiber membrane that acts as a support for the biomass and includes a bio-accelerator to promote system build-up. The whole system is wrapped in a geotextile that prevents the surrounding filter sand from entering the pipe..

Previously installed sewage treatment systems had a fixed lifespan… Your leaching bed may have reached the end of its useful life (on average 20-40 years). There are also several factors that can considerably shorten the lifespan of your installation: 

• Construction too close to the water table
• Lack of aeration inside the leaching bed
• System is no longer fit for purpose (your needs may have changed in 10 years!)
• Various design problems (common in 2000s installations)
