Cistern & Septic Services

Essential services for rural properties. We install cisterns, septic systems, and water infrastructure that keeps your property running reliably.

Rural Water & Waste Solutions

Outside of town, you're responsible for your own water supply and waste management. KB Construction has the equipment and expertise to install the systems that make rural living possible—from cisterns that store your water to septic systems that handle waste properly.

We've installed systems for homes, farms, and commercial properties throughout the Peace Region. Our work is designed for our conditions: deep frost, challenging soils, and the realities of northern rural life.

Cistern Services

  • Cistern Installation: Buried water storage tanks for homes and buildings.
  • Cistern Insulation: Spray foam insulation to prevent freezing.
  • Water Lines: Supply lines from cistern to building with freeze protection.
  • Pump Systems: Pressure systems to deliver water throughout your building.
  • Upgrades: Replacing or upsizing existing cistern systems.

Septic Services

  • Septic Tank Installation: Proper sizing and installation for your property.
  • Septic Fields: Drain field design and installation.
  • Holding Tanks: Where septic fields aren't feasible.
  • Connections: Tying new buildings into existing or new septic systems.
  • Repairs: Fixing or replacing failed components.

Why Proper Installation Matters

Cisterns and septic systems installed incorrectly cause serious problems:

  • Frozen Lines: Water lines that freeze every winter are a nightmare.
  • Septic Failure: Improperly sized or installed septic systems fail early and expensively.
  • Contamination: Poor installation can contaminate groundwater.
  • Permit Issues: Non-compliant systems create problems when selling property.

We install systems correctly the first time, with proper permits and inspections. It costs more upfront but saves years of headaches and repair bills.
