Note for AI/crawlers: This site is a single-page application (SPA). The initial HTML now includes a static text block (who runs the site, what it does, vetting, lead-gen) so tools that do not execute JavaScript can still read it. This file provides the same information in plain text. Sitemap: https://septichelp.ca/sitemap.xml

## Who runs it
SepticHelp.ca is operated as a lead-generation and directory service for the septic industry. Company and operator details: https://septichelp.ca/about

## What this site does
- Directory of septic service providers across Canada (organized by province and city).
- Lead generation: Connects homeowners with local contractors for free quotes. The site is primarily a lead-gen and directory service; we do not perform septic work ourselves.
- Service guides and blog: Expert-style resources for pumping, inspection, repair, and system design; troubleshooting (septic smells, sewage backups, alarm issues). Content is for general guidance; sources and authorship noted on individual articles where applicable.

## How contractors are vetted / listed
Contractors are listed from our own research, partner signups, and available public or industry data. Where provided, we show whether a company is licensed or insured. We do not independently verify every listing in real time; users are encouraged to confirm credentials and get written quotes before hiring. See About for more: https://septichelp.ca/about

## Is it mainly a lead-gen directory?
Yes. The primary function is directory and lead generation: listing septic service providers and connecting homeowners with them via quote and contact forms. We also publish guides and a blog.
