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 Inspection Process

The inspection process begins with a visual assessment of the existing septic installation to determine its condition and compliance with environmental standards.

The Soluo team inspects the septic tank, the pipes, and the leaching field to verify proper operation and detect any leaks or signs of soil saturation.

In Montérégie, where many residences use systems installed several decades ago, this step is essential to prevent failures and ensure the environmental health of the land—particularly in areas such as Saint-Hyacinthe, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, and Sainte-Julie.

Once the condition of the current system has been assessed, Soluo performs a feasibility analysis to determine whether a new septic installation can be built on the site.

This step considers the available surface area, the topography, the proximity to wells and waterways, and the type of soil.

In more clay-based areas such as Beloeil or Saint-Hyacinthe, a specialized system may be required, while in sandier sectors like Saint-Rémi or Venise-en-Québec, installation is often easier.
The goal is to ensure that the future system is compliant, durable, and environmentally safe.

Based on the results of the analyses, Soluo identifies the type of septic system best suited to the site.

Depending on soil type and environmental constraints, this may include a conventional system, a sand filter system, or an advanced treatment system.

In Montérégie, advanced treatment systems are especially common on properties near lakes, rivers, and environmentally sensitive zones, such as in Saint-Basile-le-Grand, Chambly, or Mont-Saint-Grégoire.

This step ensures a well-informed choice that respects both municipal regulations and the specific needs of the property owner.

At the end of the process, Soluo provides a detailed report summarizing the inspection findings, available replacement options, and a preliminary cost estimate.

In Montérégie, this report helps property owners plan a purchase or sale with clarity and ensures the project’s environmental and regulatory compliance.

FAQ

The cost of a septic inspection in Montérégie varies depending on location, terrain accessibility, and system complexity. On average, expect to pay around $650 for a full inspection performed by a technologist or a qualified Soluo professional.

No, but the inspection of a septic installation is strongly recommended—and often required during a real estate transaction in Montérégie.

Although provincial law does not make the inspection mandatory in all cases, many financial institutions require a current inspection report before finalizing a sale.

This document confirms that the system is functional, compliant, and safe, protecting both the seller and the buyer.

In municipalities such as Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Beloeil, and Saint-Hyacinthe, this practice has now become nearly systematic to avoid unpleasant surprises after purchase.

Certain visible indicators may reveal a potential septic system issue:

  • unpleasant odours near the tank or the leaching field;
  • backups or slow drainage in household drains;
  • soggy or muddy areas on the ground surface above the leaching field;
  • unusually green and dense vegetation in a specific area of the property;
  • or a septic tank that refills too quickly after pumping.

In Montérégie, where many systems are more than 20 years old, these signs are common in clay-based areas such as Saint-Hyacinthe or Marieville.

A quick inspection helps identify the cause of the issue and avoid costly repairs or soil and groundwater contamination.
