Septic Maintenance & Full System Assessment

The Most Thorough Check-Up Your System Will Ever Get

True Water Septic | Victoria ∙ Langford ∙ Sooke ∙ Saanich ∙ Sidney ∙ Metchosin ∙ Highlands ∙ Gulf Islands

A proper septic inspection isn’t just opening a lid and saying “looks fine.”

It’s a complete, nose-to-tail evaluation of your tank, treatment plant (if you have one), pumps, filters, alarms, and drain field — exactly the kind of detailed check the Capital Regional District wants every Type 1 system to receive.


While we are not currently on the CRD’s subsidized  program list, we perform the exact same scope of work using the CRD checklist and reporting format — so you still get peace of mind, real-estate-ready documentation, and early warning of problems at a fraction of the cost.

A chart titled 'What You Get in Every True Water Maintenance Assessment' lists inspection items, whether they are included in different service levels, and explains why each item matters. Items include locating access points, measuring sludge depth, cleaning or replacing filters, testing pumps and alarms, checking control panels, conducting full drain-field walkovers, inspecting distribution boxes, reviewing photos and reports, and providing free reminder services.

Why Homeowners Choose Us Even When a “CRD-Approved” Option Exists

  • Same (or better) checklist than the subsidized program

  • Same technicians year after year — we know your system

  • We coordinate the pumper for you if the tank needs emptying

  • Reports are detailed, photographed, and accepted by realtors

Real Customer Example (Saanich, October 2025)

No service in 7 years → we found:

  • Effluent filter 95 % blocked

  • One float switch failed → pump running constantly

Fixed same-day for $189 in parts.
Avoided cost: $28,000 new a new pump and drain field.
