Septic inspection, maintenance, and repair for Burnaby’s remaining private systems
Burnaby is one of the most densely built cities in the Lower Mainland, and the vast majority of properties connect to municipal sewer. Even so, Canadian Septic still supports a smaller number of older homes and properties on the city’s edges, including pockets near Burnaby Mountain and Barnet, that continue to operate on private septic systems.
Our work in Burnaby often centers on inspecting, maintaining, or repairing an existing system, along with helping property owners plan for an eventual connection to municipal sewer where that option becomes available.
We support the full range of septic needs for Burnaby’s remaining private systems.

Because so much of Burnaby has shifted to municipal sewer over the decades, the septic systems that remain tend to be older and can benefit from a thorough inspection before any assumptions are made about their condition.
Private septic properties in Burnaby are now concentrated in a small number of areas, often near Burnaby Mountain or Barnet, where sewer connection has not yet reached every lot.
