💧 Septic Tanks FAQs – Canadian Shield Consulting Agency, Ontario, Canada
A septic tank is a watertight, underground chamber that collects and treats wastewater from homes or businesses before it flows to a drainfield or advanced treatment system. It separates solids (sludge) and oils (scum) from liquid effluent, allowing partial treatment through anaerobic digestion.15 Canadian Shield Consultants installs durable polyethylene or concrete tanks (500-10,000 L) compliant with OBC Part 8, ideal for Ontario’s rocky terrains and cold climates, ensuring effective wastewater handling for sites without municipal sewers.
Septic tanks offer cost-effective, independent wastewater treatment, saving up to 40% over municipal sewer connection costs in rural Ontario.26 They’re eco-friendly, reducing groundwater contamination when paired with systems like Ecoflo® Biofilters, and require minimal energy (no pumps for gravity setups). Canadian Shield Consultants emphasizes their longevity (20-50 years) and low maintenance, making them perfect for cottages, mining camps, and First Nations communities in Northern Ontario’s Canadian Shield region
Septic tanks provide primary treatment, handling basic solids separation, while advanced systems (e.g., biofilters) offer secondary or tertiary treatment for stricter MECP discharge limits (e.g., CBOD5 <10 mg/L, TSS <10 mg/L).17 Tanks are simpler and cheaper (installation ~$5,000-$15,000) but may need larger drainfields in clay soils. Advanced systems suit sensitive sites but cost more ($20,000+). Canadian Shield Consultants customizes solutions, often combining tanks with EZflow or pressurized flow dividers for optimal performance in Ontario’s diverse landscapes.
Canadian Shield Consultants offers polyethylene (lightweight, corrosion-resistant) and concrete tanks (durable for high-traffic sites), sized for daily flows from 500 L (cottages) to 10,000 L (commercial/mining).15 They’re ideal for residential homes, commercial properties, forestry camps, and First Nations communities, especially in Northern Ontario’s shallow soils or bedrock-heavy areas, and integrate with mound systems, biofilters, or leaching beds per OBC standards.
es, properly designed septic tanks minimize environmental impact by containing wastewater and preventing nutrient leaching into Ontario’s lakes and rivers, aligning with the Clean Water Act.17 Using non-corrodible materials and regular maintenance, they avoid septicity and groundwater pollution. Canadian Shield Consultants ensures MECP compliance (e.g., 15 m setback from water bodies), promoting sustainable wastewater solutions for the Canadian Shield’s sensitive ecosystems.
Installation involves site assessment, soil percolation testing, and ECA approval per MECP guidelines, followed by excavation, tank placement, and connection to drainfields or treatment units.35 Canadian Shield Consultants manages turn-key projects, ensuring OBC Part 8 compliance (e.g., 5 m setback from buildings). For remote Northern Ontario sites, they use helicopter access, completing setups in 2-5 days with minimal disruption, even in bedrock-heavy areas.
Septic tanks last 20-50 years with proper care. Maintenance includes pumping every 3-5 years (when sludge reaches one-third capacity per OBC) and annual effluent filter checks.43 Avoid flushing non-degradable items to prevent clogs. Canadian Shield Consultants offers maintenance contracts, including inspections and pump-outs, to ensure long-term performance in Ontario’s harsh winters and compliance with OOWA standards.
Since 1996, Canadian Shield Consultants has installed over 1,000 wastewater systems across Ontario, holding four pre-approved ECAs for mobile units and full liability insurance.20 As OOWA members, they specialize in customized septic solutions for Sudbury, Northern Ontario, and beyond, earning praise: “Gerry and his crew deliver septic excellence for our remote sites.” Their expertise in tanks, EZflow, and pumping stations ensures reliable, eco-conscious installations.
