History of Sumas WA
Sumas is located along the Canadian border in northern Whatcom County. Sumas is small but still an important rural community where septic systems are essential for residential and commercial properties. This small city at the foothills of Mt. Baker has a population of only about 1,600 residents. Sumas is surrounded by plenty of farmland, rural homes, and properties that rely heavily on onsite septic systems rather than city sewer infrastructure.
Because of this, reliable septic installation, maintenance, and repair services are critical for homeowners and businesses throughout the Sumas area. At Quality Septic Install, we provide professional septic services tailored to the unique soil conditions, groundwater levels, and flooding risks that are common in Sumas and surrounding communities. We are a real company and small family based in Bellingham and service the entire Whatcom County area.
Quality Septic Services offered in Sumas
We mentioned above that Whatcom County offers training so you can learn how your septic system works. Even if you do not qualify to do your own inspections or certifications. It is a valuable resource so you can learn about your system and how it is designed for waste management. Quality Septic is here if you prefer a professional to handle the job. Eugene is the owner of the company and when you call us you will usually be speaking with him or one of his family.
Sumas is a farming community so many of the properties are outside of city sewer services. That means there are a lot of septic systems. Homeowners are responsible for inspections at certain intervals. You can train to do these yourself but if you prefer we can do it for you and submit everything to the county.
Flooding has been one of the biggest and most costly issues that farms and homeowners have had to deal with in recent years. In the past 30 years there have been at least 4 major floods. Flooding is not healthy for a septic system as they saturate the drainfields. Drainfields rely on soil absorption and flooding can lead to clogs and non draining systems.
High groundwater levels can put water inside your septic tank and potentially pushing wastewater in the surrounding soil. This can be considered a healthy and environmental hazard. Because Sumas is located at a low elevation of about 39 feet ASL and sits in a flat floodplain, these risks are more common than in other parts of Whatcom County.

We provide professional septic services for homeowners, farms, and rural properties throughout Sumas and surrounding Whatcom County areas.
