Septic Services in Keswick
From routine pump-outs to emergency repairs, we look after every part of a private septic system for homes and cottages around Keswick and Lake Simcoe. Whatever's going on, here's how we can help.
Septic Tank Pumping
Slow drains, gurgling, or a faint odour usually mean solids are building up. We fully empty the tank, check the sludge level, and let you know when you'll be due again based on your household and how the property is used.
Septic Inspection
Buying, selling, or just want peace of mind? We assess the tank, baffles, and leaching bed, then hand you clear written documentation, including what Georgina's mandatory program asks for.
Septic Repair
Backups, wet patches over the bed, or a system draining slower each week point to something fixable. We find the cause, whether it's a blockage, a worn part, or a failing baffle, and get wastewater moving again.
Septic Maintenance
The cheapest repair is the one you never need. We set up routine pump-outs and checks on a schedule that suits how you use the place, whether it's a year-round home or a seasonal cottage that sits empty part of the year.
Septic Backup? Do This First.
A backup or a strong smell means the system needs attention straight away, and on properties near the lake it's worth acting quickly to keep waste away from your yard, shoreline, and well. While you wait for us, a few simple steps limit the mess and keep everyone safe. ProJet Plumbing & Drain responds fast across Keswick and the surrounding Georgina communities.
- Stop running water: hold off on laundry, dishwashers, and showers
- Keep children and pets well away from any pooling wastewater
- Don't flush more or pour chemicals down the drain to force it clear
- Leave the tank lids closed: opening a full tank is dangerous
- Call us, and we'll get to you as quickly as we can
Septic Emergency? We Respond Fast.
Septic emergencies don't wait for business hours, and they get worse the longer they sit. Whether it's the middle of the night or a long weekend, our team serves Keswick and the surrounding communities around the clock. One call gets a real person and a fast plan.
Signs Your Septic Needs Attention
Septic problems rarely show up overnight. They build quietly until a small issue becomes a costly one, and for homes near Lake Simcoe, catching them early also keeps the lake and nearby wells clean. If any of these sound familiar, it's time to book a visit.
It's been more than 3 to 5 years since your last septic tank pumping
Bright green, spongy, or unusually lush grass over the drain field
Your septic alarm or warning light has gone off
Well or lakeside water tests come back with bacteria or nitrates
Plumbing struggles when you run several fixtures at once
Your system is 20 to 25+ years old and hasn't been assessed lately
You're buying or selling with no recent septic inspection on record
Septic Rules Near Lake Simcoe
If your property sits within 100 metres of Lake Simcoe, or of a river, stream, or other watercourse in the Lake Simcoe watershed, your septic system likely falls under Ontario's mandatory maintenance inspection program. These rules exist to keep effluent out of the lake and out of the wells so many homes here depend on. Here's the short version of what it means for you.
Inspections on a 5-year cycle
Systems close to the lake or a watershed watercourse generally need a maintenance inspection every five years under the Ontario Building Code, administered locally by the Town of Georgina. The Town notifies affected properties, but it's worth confirming your own status if you're unsure.
Permits for work on your system
Installing, altering, or repairing part of a septic system generally requires a permit through the Town's Building Division. It's an easy step to miss, and skipping it can cause headaches when you later sell or renovate.
Conservation authority areas
If your lot falls within a Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority regulated area, near a shoreline, wetland, or floodplain, extra approval may be needed before work begins. We can help you figure out whether this applies to you.
We carry out these inspections and provide the written documentation the Town asks for, so if you're buying, selling, or simply due, we can help you stay onside. Not sure whether your property is included? Give us a call, or check directly with the Town of Georgina's Building Division.
(289) 460-1722Keep Your Septic Healthy
Most septic failures are avoidable. A handful of simple habits protect your tank, your leaching bed, and the water around you, and they save real money over the life of the system.
Do
- Pump on a sensible schedule for your household size and water use
- Spread out laundry and heavy water use instead of doing it all at once
- Know where your tank and bed are, and keep the lids accessible
- Fix running toilets and dripping taps promptly
- Keep records of pump-outs and inspections, handy at resale
Avoid
- Flushing wipes, hygiene products, grease, or harsh chemicals
- Pouring fats, oils, or food scraps down the drain, skip the garbage grinder
- Driving, parking, or building over the leaching bed
- Routing water softener backwash, hot tub, or pool water into the septic
- Leaning on additives, a healthy tank rarely needs them

Septic FAQs
Common questions about septic pumping, repair, inspection, and maintenance in Keswick and the surrounding communities, answered by the team at ProJet Plumbing & Drain.
How do I know if my septic system needs repair?
Watch for slow drains, sewage odours, gurgling pipes, or water pooling above the drain field. Most of these point to something repairable. Systems past 20 to 25 years may be nearing the end of their service life and are worth assessing. Call us at (289) 460-1722 for an honest look.
How often should a septic tank be pumped in Keswick?
Most local homes need pumping every three to five years, though heavier water use or a smaller tank means more often. Staying on a schedule is the simplest way to avoid backups and odours down the line.
Is my property subject to Georgina's mandatory 5-year inspection?
If you're within 100 metres of Lake Simcoe or a watercourse in the watershed, quite possibly. Ontario requires those systems to be inspected every five years, run locally through the Town of Georgina. The Town flags affected properties, but if you're not certain, call us or the Town's Building Division and we'll help you find out.
What does a septic inspection involve, and when do I need one?
It's essential when buying or selling, and useful any time you want to know where things stand. We check the tank, baffles, and drain field, then hand you clear documentation. That protects buyers from hidden costs and helps sellers close without last-minute surprises.
Can you service a seasonal cottage that sits empty part of the year?
Yes, and it's a common request around here. Intermittent use changes how a system behaves, so we'll tailor a pumping and check-up schedule to how you actually use the place, including timing visits around opening up or closing down for the season.
What should I do if my septic tank is overflowing or backing up?
Stop using water, keep children and pets away from any wastewater, leave the tank lids closed, and call us right away at (289) 460-1722. We respond quickly to emergencies across Keswick and nearby communities.

Reviews from homeowners who booked septic pumping, repair, inspection, and maintenance in Keswick and the surrounding Georgina communities.
Greg M.
November 2025
Booked a pump-out because it had been a few years and I'd rather not find out the hard way. Tank was emptied, the area left clean, and he gave me a realistic idea of when to book again for our place by the lake.
Sandra P.
January 2026
We needed the septic looked at before closing on our place near the water. The write-up was thorough and easy to hand to the buyers, and it kept the sale moving with no last-minute drama.
Daniel W.
March 2026
Sunday night, sewage coming back up, not a great start to the week. They still picked up, talked me through what to shut off, and had someone out to get it draining again fast.
Laura H.
February 2026
Wasn't sure who to call, so I'm glad I found these folks. Older system, a couple of things going wrong at once, and they sorted it out without trying to sell me a brand new setup I didn't need.
Mark T.
April 2026
Drains had been getting sluggish so I booked a check before it turned into something worse. Good call, apparently. They caught an issue starting over the field and dealt with it early.
Jennifer K.
May 2026
Quick to respond and everything explained in plain terms, with nothing pushed on us. We only use the cottage part of the year and they set up a schedule that fits.
