Onsite Septic Systems
In areas where municipal sewer services are not available, homeowners must rely on sewage (septic) systems to meet their needs. Soil tests are made to determine if the soil conditions can accept and treat waste water. In fact, more than 1.2 million Michigan homes have onsite sewage systems.
Septic systems require routine maintenance. Click on the picture below to view our 6-minute video on septic system maintenance.
