On Vancouver Island, we’re blessed to live near nature with abundant access to water. However, water can also cause problems for your property if it’s not drained properly. Plus, wastewater leaving your home can cause problems for the environment if it’s not treated in an appropriate way.

In this issue of Island Living Today, we chat with Mike Crawford, a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner. He sheds light on how to design and maintain drainage and septic systems on your property. You will learn about:

  • How perimeter drainage works to protect your home and potential issues to watch for
  • Advances in modern septic technology and design
  • What to look for when shopping for land to build your dream home
