EZflow Drainage Solutions – Environmentally Friendly and Cost-Effective
Canadian Shield Consultants Agency is proud to offer EZflow drainage systems, an environmentally responsible and cost-effective alternative to traditional gravel-based drainage. Designed as pre-assembled, lightweight units, EZflow components can be easily transported and installed by a single worker, making them ideal for a wide range of residential, commercial, and municipal projects in Ontario.
EZflow Drainage Systems
EZflow units are easily connected with internal couplings to meet precise installation requirements. For additional absorption, EZflow can be combined with 10-foot lengths of EPS aggregate without the pipe. The patented geo-synthetic EPS aggregate is made from recycled polystyrene, engineered for optimal performance and consistent form, providing:
35% more surface area and void volume than crushed stone
Reduced risk of premature clogging from dirt and debris
Applications of EZflow Drains
EZflow drainage systems are lightweight, easy to install, and eliminate the need for gravel in applications such as:
Foundation drains
French drains
Interceptor drains
Landscaping drains
Roof run-off drains
Septic system leach fields
Golf courses and sports complexes
Key Benefits of EZflow Drainage Systems
Saves Time and Money
Pre-assembled 10-foot EPS aggregate and pipe units reduce the need for heavy equipment, gravel handling, and extra labor.
Lightweight design lowers transportation and labor costs, especially on steep or difficult terrain.
Built to Perform
Plastic pipe and EPS combination offers flexibility and durability.
Performs well in clay soils, preventing failures due to low permeability.
Lightweight structure minimizes stress on the soil interface, even in deep trenches or under heavy loads.
Flexible installation allows for easy placement along curves, contours, and corners.
Uniform assembly prevents uneven trench bottoms and ensures consistent drainage depth.
Environmentally Friendly
Made from inert, nondegradable materials that withstand soil pressure and environmental conditions.
Utilizes recycled EPS, reducing landfill waste and conserving natural stone.
One hundred pounds of EPS aggregate replaces eight tons of gravel, promoting sustainable construction practices.
Canadian Shield Consultants Agency brings innovative, eco-friendly drainage solutions to Ontario projects, combining efficiency, cost savings, and environmental responsibility. Whether for residential septic systems, commercial landscaping, or municipal infrastructure, EZflow offers a reliable alternative to traditional gravel drainage systems.

💧 EZ-Flow Drain Field Installation FAQs – Canadian Shield Consulting Agency, Ontario
The tough bead was engineered to withstand the weight of a backhoe when covered with the minimum of 6″ – 10″ of backfill.
When buried in the ground the geo-synthetic aggregate will not breakdown. Exposure to the typical elements of groundwater or household chemicals will have no impact on the beads. The expanded polystyrene is a highly stable compound. The expected life span is indefinite. It is predicted that the product will last well over 100 years.
The geo-synthetic material does not leach and it contains no harmful materials that could be released into the ground water. All materials used in the assembly are inert in the expected environment. These materials are effective in demanding environments, and they will not contaminate the ground water.
The tight pack of the aggregate around the pipe allows for the bending of the unit without crimping the pipe. It can easily bend around the corner of a house in a foundation drain without the need for additional connectors or hardware.
EPS which would otherwise be waste material, is used, saving valuable landfill space.
There is no nutritional value in polystyrene and thus it attracts no termites, ants, or rodents.
Polystyrene is an inert, large molecular weight compound that does not breakdown in aqueous solutions. Polystyrene does not act as an absorbent like activated carbon, nor is polystyrene very permeable to liquids. The chemical resistance of polystyrene is well known. It is not attacked or degraded by long exposure to either bleach, soap solutions, or common household products that are poured down the drain. Polystyrene is virtually resistant to all aqueous media including dilute acids and bases.
Polystyrene has the ability to tolerate temperature ranges. It has a continuous use temperature ranges from -108 to +175 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not brittle at subzero temperature. Over time it may soften in boiling water (212 degrees Fahrenheit). Products made of polystyrene will not be affected by the harshest of temperature climates or change.
The EZ-Flow system is a modern, lightweight gravelless drain field solution used for septic and wastewater management. Instead of traditional stone and pipe designs, EZ-Flow systems use polyethylene bundles filled with synthetic aggregate, allowing for improved drainage, faster installation, and reduced environmental impact. At Canadian Shield Consulting Agency, we specialize in designing and installing EZ-Flow systems across Ontario to meet residential and commercial wastewater needs.
EZ-Flow systems offer several key advantages over conventional leaching beds:
No heavy gravel required – faster and cleaner installation
Enhanced wastewater flow and filtration
Reduced site disturbance – perfect for sensitive or small properties
Durable and long-lasting materials
Environmentally friendly and compliant with Ontario Building Code Part 8 standards
Canadian Shield Consulting Agency installs EZ-Flow systems that meet local health unit and Ministry of Environment requirements.
Yes. The EZ-Flow drain field system is approved by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) for onsite sewage applications.

Canadian Shield Consulting Agency provides EZ-Flow system installation services throughout Ontario, including:
Muskoka
Parry Sound
Simcoe County
North Bay
Sudbury
Greater Toronto Area (GTA)
Our certified environmental professionals ensure each EZ-Flow system is custom-engineered to your property’s soil type, slope, and site conditions.
Installation is typically completed in 1–2 days, depending on the project size and site conditions.

Canadian Shield Consulting Agency manages the entire process—from design and permitting to installation and inspection.
Yes. EZ-Flow systems are an excellent solution for replacing failing or aging septic drain fields. They can often be installed in smaller areas than traditional systems, making them ideal for properties with space constraints or poor soil conditions. Our team can evaluate your current septic system and determine whether an EZ-Flow upgrade is right for your site.
EZ-Flow systems are low-maintenance compared to conventional leaching beds. However, it’s important to schedule regular septic tank inspections and pump-outs to maintain system efficiency. Canadian Shield Consulting Agency offers ongoing maintenance, performance inspections, and replacement services to ensure your EZ-Flow system continues to operate effectively for decades.
Absolutely. EZ-Flow systems are ideal for cottages, cabins, and seasonal homes across Ontario. Their modular design and durability make them easy to install in remote or uneven terrain, and they perform reliably even with intermittent seasonal use. Canadian Shield Consulting Agency frequently installs EZ-Flow systems in Muskoka, Haliburton, and the Kawarthas.
Costs vary depending on the site and system size, but the average EZ-Flow installation in Ontario ranges between $12,000 and $20,000.
