What Should Homeowners Know Before Starting a Septic Design Project?

[christyan]

Planning a septic system isn’t something most homeowners think about until it becomes necessary, and the design stage can feel overwhelming. Between permits, environmental requirements, and property limitations, it’s easy to miss important details early on. I’m curious what questions homeowners should ask before approving a septic system design in Calgary. What information helps avoid costly redesigns later, and what parts of the process are commonly misunderstood at the start?
