Soils and ground conditions in Middlesex County
Middlesex County has clay-rich glacial till with sandy plains in places.
Rural homes and farms outside London rely on septic systems.
Climate and what it means for a septic system
Snowy winters, spring melt and heavy summer rain affect groundwater.
A tank only works as well as the leaching bed after it: saturated, compacted or root-filled ground is the most common reason for slow drains, odours and wet patches, so the soil and the water table are checked as well as the tank.
Local approvals and rules
The Middlesex-London Health Unit and municipal building departments handle Part 8 permits in the area.
Part 8 of the Ontario Building Code governs on-site sewage systems with design flows up to 10,000 litres per day. Depending on the municipality, permits come from the local building department, the health unit or a conservation authority, and designers and installers need the qualifications the Code requires.
Typical septic work in Middlesex County
Pumping, inspections, repairs and replacement. Every property is different, so the system is located, opened and inspected on site before any repair is recommended or quoted.
Know where your tank, lids and leaching bed are, keep vehicles and structures off them, and have any service records ready before the visit.
