Design Report

We feel very fortunate that we chose Western Wastewater to design and implement our new septic system. From start to finish they were extremely knowledgeable, professional, meticulous and thorough. Our goal is to design the simplest system for your needs while meeting or exceeding current standards.

Install Report

The key to a long lasting system is a good relationship between proper design & installation. We do both - the same technicians who were there during the planning stage with clip board and calculators are there with their steel toe boots & installation equipment. Once installed, we commission the system.

FAQs Report

A septic system treats your wastewater on your own property, and releases clean treated water back into the groundwater. A properly functioning septic system receives your household's wastewater and treats it to a safe level before returning it to the environment. A conventional septic system is composed of a septic tank and a soil filter, also called a leaching bed, dispersal or drain field.

I contacted Jackson about replacement of a distribution box and cleaning of the drain field, his response was prompt and professional.
His team of Mike and Cody are friendly, knowledgeable and a top level of workmanship, and left the job site clean and tidy.
I highly recommended this business.

I've used Jackson and Western Wastewater a few times to perform Septic System inspections for my Buyer clients who are purchasing homes with septic systems. In every instance, I have found him to be very responsive, thorough and professional. He has done everything from recommending regular maintenance and necessary repairs to full replacement. I highly recommend him based on my experience.

Jackson from Western Wastewater Systems has been great to deal with on our new septic system as well as some other related matters - very professional, conscientious and price competitive. They came in ahead of schedule and below budget, and were excellent throughout the whole process with great workmanship and very professional services, we can't say enough good things about Western Wastewater Systems and Jackson, and would highly recommend them to anyone.

They exceeded my expectations with the quality of work and period of time getting it done!

We had Western Wastewater Systems come to inspect our system as there were some issues. Jackson made some recommendations, gave us a budget and did the job required. The system is functioning really well. Thanks, Jim

We had our septic field inspected as part of a new home purchase. The Western Wastewater team was great! They checked everything: the tank, the outlets, the field and then showed us where things were good and where we needed to do some routine maintenance. They mapped the entire septic field with a camera and told us the condition of the individual pipes.
Thanks for the peace of mind!

Jackson was extremely professional, provided exception service, and was very knowledgeable. He encouraged us to come on site during his inspection and explained the system in detail to my husband and I (we have no previous experience with a septic system). I would highly recommend his services!

Jackson at Western Wastewater designed and installed a new septic system for us in North Saanich. He was incredibly helpful and communicated well with us throughout the project. He was wonderfully organized and clean with all his work. The process was easy and the end result has been fantastic.
