    Holding Tank Installation Saskatchewan

    The perfect solution for lake properties, small lots, or areas with extremely poor soil where a full septic system isn't possible.

    When to Choose a Holding Tank

    Unlike a septic system, a holding tank doesn't treat waste—it simply stores it until a truck comes to pump it out. This makes it ideal for several specific Saskatchewan scenarios:

    Lake Properties

    High water tables and small lot sizes often make drain fields impossible.

    Seasonal Cabins

    Perfect for lower-usage properties where a full system isn't cost-effective.

    Poor Soil Conditions

    In areas with absolute zero drainage, a holding tank is the only legal option.

    Tight Spaces

    Requires much less yard space than a traditional system.

    Sizing & Selection

    Choosing the right tank size is critical for minimizing pumping costs.

    Standard Sizes

    We install 1,000 to 2,500+ gallon tanks depending on your needs.

    Material Options

    High-strength concrete or heavy-duty polyethylene for hard-to-reach cabin sites.

    Alarm Systems

    Every tank we install includes a high-level alarm to prevent overflows.

    Holding Tank FAQs

    This depends on your usage. A typical family of four using a 1,500-gallon tank may need pumping every 2-4 weeks. For seasonal cabins, it may only be once or twice a year.

    Most RMs in Saskatchewan allow holding tanks, especially in lake regions or where soil is poor. We handle all the permitting and RM approvals for you.

    Installation is significantly cheaper than a full septic system (typically $5,000–$10,000), but you will have ongoing costs for regular pumping.
