About Us

Mid-Michigan's septic & excavation specialists.

Richards Septic Tank Service is a locally owned and operated septic and excavation company built on dependability, quality, and honest communication.

Our Story

Built to serve Mid-Michigan properties.

Richards Septic Tank Service was founded with one goal: to be the septic and excavation company Mid-Michigan homeowners and businesses can actually rely on. No missed appointments. No unanswered calls. No cut corners. Just dependable, professional work — from permit to final payment.

We started by installing and repairing septic systems for homeowners across the region, and quickly earned a reputation for thorough, honest work. As our customers asked us to handle their excavation, site work, and permitting, we grew into a full-service septic and excavation company.

Today, we design, install, repair, and permit septic systems and handle excavation and site work for residential and commercial properties across Mid-Michigan — with the same commitment to reliability and quality we started with, backed by a 5-year installation warranty.
