Across Sackville, Moncton Septic Services focuses on septic site assessment for rural properties around the town that rely on on-site systems. Test pits are dug to read the soil profile, the depth to bedrock and the seasonal high water table, which is marked in the soil by colour and mottling. Slope, lot size, usable area and setbacks from wells, watercourses, wetlands, property lines and buildings are checked too, giving a clear picture of the system the site can support and whether a future replacement field will fit.
