Septic design, installation, and repair for Port Coquitlam’s rural riverside properties
Port Coquitlam is largely built out and serviced by municipal sewer, but a handful of rural properties near DeBoville Slough and the banks of the Coquitlam and Fraser Rivers still depend on private septic systems. Canadian Septic supports these property owners with designs suited to the area’s riverside soil conditions.
Because Port Coquitlam sits at the confluence of two rivers, water table depth and seasonal flooding are important considerations in any septic design here.

Our Port Coquitlam team handles every stage of the septic process for the community’s remaining rural properties.

Properties near DeBoville Slough and the Coquitlam and Fraser Rivers often have a higher water table, which can require a raised or engineered drain field to function reliably year round.
With most of Port Coquitlam now on municipal sewer, remaining septic properties are typically older or located on the community’s rural edges. We confirm sewer availability before recommending any septic work.
Any septic design or installation in Port Coquitlam must be filed with Fraser Health by an ASTTBC Authorized Person, and Canadian Septic manages this filing on your behalf.

A small job but immediate attention was required and Arien was right there to help. Very friendly and professional. I can not thank him enough for being right there willing to help out my elderly parents and put their minds at ease. Fantastic work!! Tim BontkesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. No one wants to deal with sewer backing up in their basement 🫤. James and Tom from Canadian Septic showed up within 2 hours of my call and took care of the problem with expertise and efficiency. Thanks for making a very “shitty” situation only a minor disruption! K MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They said they would try to make it out on only a day's notice and did just that. Tom their tech was great! Jessica SonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Canadian Septic. We've had experiences with so many septic companies in the past 20+ years, and Canadian Septic is the best company we've ever worked with! They were very thorough and spent enough time to listen to our concerns and identify issues. When our septic tank alarm went off, we contacted 2-3 different septic companies, but none of them helped when we ended up paying so much for it. But Canadian Septic was so helpful and their team is just amazing!!! Thank you!!!! Janine BenoitTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow, what can I say? He was amazing, start to finish!! We had an issue with our Septic alarm going off on Friday and not draining, due to a faulty control switch. They talked us through getting the pump to work temporarily, so we could use our system over the weekend and save money. Squeezed us into their schedule and fixed the issue quickly on Monday. We really appreciated their level of knowledge, explaining things I didn't know about, or understand prior and level of professionalism, politeness and he even cleaned up and took the garbage away!! Conner DickieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company, great people! Tyson TamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and knowledgeable company. Have used them as consultants before and can't say enough. Highly recommend!
