Basswood Inc.
Septic Systems
Full septic support for cottages and rural homes.
From soil evaluation and permitting through tank install, leaching beds, repairs, and a clean site when we leave.
Septic is a full line — not a sideline. The earthwork and the bed belong to the same crew, so the grades, the tank, and the restoration are one job.
Installs in this region sit under the Ontario Building Code (Part 8 — sewage systems) and the health unit that covers the lot. We walk soil, access, and the paperwork path before the first bucket.
Failed beds and winter replacements are regular work. The goal is a system that sits on stone, drains as designed, and leaves a site you can use.
Who it is for
Cottages, rural homes, and new builds that need a new system, a replacement, or a failed bed put right under Ontario Building Code Part 8.
What done looks like
A permitted system on bedding, grades that drain, and a restored site you can use — not a tank left hovering for someone else to finish.
What to send
Site address, township, a short note on the house (bedrooms, existing system if any), and photos of the lot, access, and slope.

New installs and replacements
Complete systems for cottages, rural homes, and new builds — including full replacements.
Concrete tanks and distribution
Tanks, piping, and distribution set on bedding and to grade — not left hovering for someone else to finish.

Repairs and restoration

Questions
Do you install septic systems in Northern Ontario?
Yes — Basswood Inc. in Huron Shores installs new systems, replacements, concrete tanks, leaching beds, and repairs for cottages and rural homes, under OBC Part 8 and the local health unit.
Who permits a septic system here?
Sewage systems are Ontario Building Code Part 8 work. The health unit covering the township reviews the file. We help with the site and the paperwork path; we are not the chief building official.
