Opening Up the Cottage? Don’t Forget Septic Inspections & Excavation Prep

As the snow melts and roads reopen in Muskoka, many property owners are turning their attention to summer projects. Whether you're opening up the cottage, starting new construction, or improving your property, early-season planning makes a big difference. Two key services that are often overlooked — but essential in the spring — are excavation and septic system inspections.

Start Excavation Early to Stay on Schedule

If your project involves digging for a foundation, grading a driveway, or preparing land for drainage or utilities, it’s best to get started in June before the summer rush. Scheduling excavation early helps avoid delays later in the season — especially in busy areas like Port Carling, Bala, Six Mile Lake, and Honey Harbour.

At Morden Construction, we offer excavation services for:

• Site preparation and grading

• Utility trenching

• Road and driveway access

• Drainage improvement

• Septic system installation

Our experienced team understands Muskoka terrain and works with you or your contractor to ensure the site is ready — on time and to spec.

Don’t Skip Your Spring Septic Check

Cottages and seasonal properties in Muskoka rely on septic systems that often sit unused over the winter. As the ground thaws, now is the right time to inspect and maintain these systems. A spring check-up helps avoid system failures and can catch minor issues before they turn into costly repairs.

Morden Septic Services offers:

• System inspections

• Repairs and upgrades

• New septic system installations

• Licensed design services
  

We follow all local regulations and provide honest, practical advice for property owners.
