I am very happy with my new Norweco septic system installed by Green Valley Environmental. The company did a great job keeping the original look of my property.

All I wanted was to replace an aging septic system.. though Bill Seabrooke and his engineer Steve Bassett designed a system way over our budget.. being seniors and living in rural Ottawa we were baffled by the complexity of all this.. after further thought we decided to go with a 'conventional system' rather than the ATL system they had designed.. I guess we should have been more cautious and did some homework... getting a contractor to do a different design meant a revision (Mr Bassett charged more than RVCA said it would cost).. well I ended up with a filter media bed.. raised 5 feet

Company is very expensive. Asked to have a service tech come out and they quoted us $148 for a service call. We didn't want a full inspection at this time so we thought this was a good deal. It was explained to us that the $148 covered the first hour and anything over the hour would be billed separately. When the the techs came over, they were over an hour late. ( they blamed the boss for the delay) As a result we were late for work costing us more money. They we were on site for 45 minutes. We thought all was good until we got the invoice. There were two charges, one for service call and one

We had Green Valley Environmental come out to provide a septic inspection. Stuart and Joe were fantastic - super informative and knowledgeable. They took the time to provide an extremely thorough report and answer all of our questions. We will continue to use GVE for all of our ongoing septic system needs. I highly recommend them!

Had a septic pump out. The two man crew who arrived on site were polite and professional. There knowledge of septic systems allowed for the detection of a issue. With there advice, I conducted the repair and was able to save alot of money. I will certainly return to GVE for any future septic pumping, repair, and eventually tank replacement. I would recommend them to any one.

Avoid GVE. One expensive option only. After speaking to several relatives, acquaintances, engineering firmsiit became obvious all septic suppliers are basically unregulated. Anyone looking for septic system installation should initially stay away from GVE or the division Smart Septic Solutions. The first point of contact for a new septic system should be an environmental engineering firm. Engineering firms are regulated. Leveraging professional environment engineering credentials, they provided me with several design possibilities. From my experience, a reputable engineering firm will visit the
