Why Septic Tank Inspection Is Crucial in Lanaudière

Who is Soluo?

Soluo is a multidisciplinary team of 35 septic system experts, operating across all regions of Québec. Since 1995, the team has inspected, designed, and installed more than 500 septic systems every year.

Soluo Process

The inspection process begins with a visual assessment of the current septic installation to verify its compliance, performance, and overall condition.

The Soluo team inspects the septic tank, the leaching field, and all system components to detect any anomalies such as water infiltration, backups, soil saturation, or pipe deterioration.

In the Lanaudière region, many installations are located on varied terrain — sandy in Saint-Côme or Sainte-Émélie-de-l’Énergie, more clay-based around Joliette and Berthierville, or rocky in Rawdon and Saint-Donat.
This step helps evaluate the overall health of the system and anticipate necessary interventions.

fter assessing the existing system, Soluo performs a visual feasibility analysis to determine whether the land can accommodate a new, compliant septic installation.

This study considers available space, slope, soil type, and distance from wells and bodies of water.
In vacation areas such as Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez and Saint-Jean-de-Matha, sloped or lakeside lots sometimes require specialized systems.

This step confirms the technical and regulatory feasibility of replacing or installing a new system that meets the requirements of Regulation Q-2, r.22.

Based on the analysis results, Soluo identifies the type of septic system best suited to the site’s characteristics.

The most commonly recommended systems in Lanaudière include the conventional system, the sand filter system, and advanced treatment systems.

This step ensures that the chosen solution is ecological, efficient, and durable, and adapted to the soil conditions typically found in Lanaudière.

Once the inspection is complete, Soluo provides a detailed report outlining the findings, available options, and estimated costs for system repair or replacement.

This document also includes land conditions, local regulatory constraints, and personalized recommendations based on the type of property.

In the Lanaudière region, this report is required by several municipalities — including Rawdon, Saint-Félix-de-Valois, Chertsey, and Sainte-Émélie-de-l’Énergie — before any work can be authorized.

It allows property owners to plan their next steps with full transparency and ensures that the future system will be compliant, safe, and long-lasting.

FAQ

The cost of a septic inspection in the Lanaudière region varies depending on the location, the accessibility of the property, and the type of system being evaluated. On average, you should expect to pay around $650 for a complete inspection carried out by a qualified Soluo professional.

This service includes the inspection of the septic tank, the leaching field, the pipes, and the overall system performance, as well as identifying replacement options and preparing a detailed inspection report.

In more accessible areas such as Joliette, Saint-Félix-de-Valois, or Crabtree, the cost is generally lower, while properties located in mountainous or forested terrain — such as Rawdon, Saint-Donat, or Sainte-Béatrix — may require more time and equipment, which can slightly affect the price.

Although a septic system inspection is not provincially mandatory, it is highly recommended when buying or selling a property in Lanaudière.

Financial institutions often require a recent inspection report before finalizing a transaction. This document confirms that the system is functional, safe, and compliant with the requirements of Regulation Q-2, r.22.

In municipalities such as Rawdon, Saint-Donat, Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez, and Sainte-Émélie-de-l’Énergie, this inspection has become common practice to protect both the buyer and the seller and to avoid costly repairs after the sale.

Certain symptoms may indicate that a septic system is experiencing an issue:

  • persistent odours around the septic tank or leaching field;
  • water backups in household drains;
  • wet or muddy areas on the ground surface;
  • excessive vegetation growth in a specific area;
  • or a tank that fills unusually quickly after pumping.

In Lanaudière, these issues are common in the more clay-based soils of Berthierville and L’Assomption, or in the rocky terrain of Rawdon and Saint-Donat, where natural drainage is more difficult.

A professional inspection conducted by Soluo helps quickly identify the source of the issue, prevent soil contamination, and extend the lifespan of the system.
