Septic Installation, Repair, and Pumping in Mill Bay
Mill Bay's rural and waterfront properties in the south Cowichan run on private septic, with coastal lots and tight soils that often need advanced treatment. We install, repair, pump, and inspect these systems, from $250 pump-outs to full installs, with the Island Health filing handled for you.
A new system in Mill Bay runs $15,000–$45,000+, depending on your site.
Septic on the Mill Bay coast
Mill Bay mixes rural acreage with waterfront lots along Saanich Inlet, and we work on septic systems on both. If you're on or near the shore, the rules are tighter to protect the water, so we usually put in a treatment system.
Aging systems on established lots
Plenty of Mill Bay systems went in decades ago, and we're seeing their drain fields reach the end, especially on the heavier soils. When we replace one, you can move up to a Type 2 system sized for your lot.
Inspections before you buy
On Mill Bay's higher-value and waterfront properties, we inspect before most purchases — a written report on the tank, field, and flow that keeps a five-figure surprise from landing on the new owner.
