If you’re purchasing a new lot or an older property, the installation or inspection of a septic system might not be top of mind. But unless you plan on midnight trips to an outhouse, a septic system is likely the solution you’ll need.
Urban Lots with Public Sewer
If the property is in an urban area, there’s a good chance a public sewer system is available.
Pros: No personal maintenance required.
Considerations: Typically involves a monthly fee charged by the city. Some municipalities bill water and sewer separately, while others combine them.

Rural Properties and Septic Systems
Rural properties usually don’t have access to a public sewer. This is where a septic system comes in.
- Requires basic maintenance but generally lower ongoing costs over time
- No monthly city sewer fee
- Uses beneficial bacteria to break down solids in the tank and then disperses treated effluent to the drain field
If There’s an Existing (Outdated) System
If an inspection finds an existing but outdated septic tank, you still have options. One of Canadian Septic’s specialties is upgrading existing systems to meet current needs and standards.
