Home Inspection Series: Drainage & Septic Systems

- On Vancouver Island, we’re blessed to live near nature with abundant access to water. However, water can also cause problems for your property if it’s not drained properly. Plus, wastewater leaving your home can cause problems for the environment if it’s not treated in an appropriate way.
This Island Living Today talk we shed light on how to design and maintain drainage and septic systems on your property. We had Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner, Mike Crawford, owner of Crawford Stie Services on hand to discuss new constructions and renovations.
We discussed:
- How perimeter drainage works to protect your home and potential issues to watch for
- Advances in modern septic technology and design
- What to look for when shopping for land to build your dream home
