Septic System Installation
Complete septic system design and installation — from site evaluation and soil testing to tank setting, drain field construction, and final inspection.
A system designed for your property, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
A properly designed septic system protects your home, your property, and the environment. Richards Septic Tank Service designs and installs complete residential septic systems tailored to your property's layout, soil conditions, and household size — using quality tanks, components, and materials built to last through Michigan seasons.
Every installation includes site evaluation, system design, permitting, tank and drain field installation, and a final walkthrough so you understand exactly how your new system works. We stand behind every installation with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
