Septic inspection, locating, and repair support for Vancouver property owners and regional projects
The City of Vancouver is almost entirely serviced by municipal sewer, so private septic systems here are uncommon. Even so, Canadian Septic regularly works with Vancouver based homeowners, developers, and real estate professionals who need septic expertise for a property elsewhere in the region, a legacy system on an older lot, or a pre purchase inspection before buying acreage outside the city.
We also support Vancouver clients who are planning a build in the Fraser Valley or Sea to Sky Corridor and need a local design team who understands Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health requirements alike.
From inspections on legacy city properties to full design work on regional builds, our team supports Vancouver clients across every service.

Because Vancouver is almost fully serviced by municipal sewer, the septic systems that remain are typically decades old. A full inspection is the best first step before assuming a legacy system is still functioning correctly.
Any septic work within the City of Vancouver falls under Vancouver Coastal Health’s Sewerage System Regulation, and any new design or repair must be filed by an ASTTBC Authorized Person.
Many of our Vancouver clients are actually building or buying outside city limits. We coordinate designs that satisfy the correct health authority, whether that is Vancouver Coastal Health or Fraser Health, depending on where the property sits.
We work across both Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health jurisdictions, so we can support projects anywhere in the Lower Mainland or Sea to Sky Corridor.
Our designs and filings meet provincial standards regardless of which health authority applies.
Our design and installation work is backed for as long as you own the property in question.
We explain the process clearly for clients who may be new to septic systems after moving from a fully sewered city property.
