Megan Careless can remember years ago when her father and grandfather used straw for septic system drainfield media.
She recalls when open discharges without drainfields were more common than trench-and-pipe systems. And when earning an installer license meant just three days of schooling.
The onsite world is different now, and Megan, her brother Jake Careless, and their father Clay Careless are on board with the changes. The three operate Triple C Backhoe Services in Leduc, Alberta, about 20 minutes south of Edmonton.
They specialize in onsite system installation, repair and inspection, but also do trenching for utilities in subdivisions, snow removal, grave digging
