When installing a septic system for a new build in Muskoka or Lake of Bays, our work begins with an onsite visit, where we use a GPS unit to survey the property and prepare a topographical map. Then, with the building plans in hand, we’ll design the septic system that makes the most sense for your unique Muskoka and Lake of Bays property and situation. The same class of septic system will vary greatly depending on site-specific features such as the space available, soil material, and depth to bedrock, so it’s vital to be guided by experience here. 

Of special interest to many residents of Muskoka and Lake of Bays, septic systems near the water are required to be Class 2, that is, to include an additional secondary wastewater treatment stage when compared with other systems. Class 2 systems protect nearby waterways by treating and filtrating the septic wastewater before it enters the bed. Fivepoint has a wealth of experience installing Class 2 systems in Muskoka and Lake of Bays, as well as the more traditional leaching bed systems such as raised and inground beds, whitby filter beds, and greywater pits.
