What we do in Abbotsford
What we see on septic systems around Abbotsford
- High groundwater and wet winters on the prairie can saturate drain fields and slow absorption
- Older systems with buried lids and no records, common on long-held farm properties
- Second dwellings and added bedrooms that put extra load on a system sized for fewer people
- Wells close to septic fields on small rural lots, where setbacks matter

Questions
Are many Abbotsford homes on septic?
Yes. Outside the urban core, most farms and acreages in Sumas Prairie, Matsqui, Bradner and Mt Lehman have private septic systems, many of them decades old. We service, pump, inspect and repair them.
Who holds the septic records for an Abbotsford property?
Fraser Health keeps the filings for septic systems in Abbotsford. Older systems may have no record at all, in which case we locate the tank and field and note what is there.
