How It Works
Site Assessment

Design & Permits
System design is submitted to the county health department. We handle the paperwork and scheduling.
Excavation
The site is excavated for the tank, distribution box, and drain field lines. We protect your existing landscaping as much as possible.
Installation
Tank is set, lines are laid to grade, and all connections are made. Everything is inspected before backfill.
Backfill & Restore
Site is backfilled, graded, and restored. We do not leave your yard looking like a construction zone.
Questions from Mason Homeowners
Do you serve Mason, MI?
Yes, Mason is our home town. Family Grade & Gravel is based on Chickasaw Drive in Mason. We work in town every week.
How quickly can you get to a job in Mason?
Same-day for most estimates and next-day starts on smaller jobs. Larger projects get scheduled within 1 to 2 weeks depending on the season.
How long does septic installation take?
A standard gravity system typically takes 3-5 days from excavation to final grade. Engineered systems may take longer depending on complexity.
Do I need a new system or can mine be repaired?
It depends on the issue. Some problems can be fixed with drain field repair or tank pumping. We will give you an honest assessment rather than pushing a full replacement.
What is the difference between gravity and pressurized systems?
Gravity systems rely on natural downhill flow. Pressurized systems use a pump to distribute effluent evenly, which is required on some properties where gravity alone will not work.
Do you handle the permits?
Yes. We coordinate with the county health department on system design, permits, and inspection scheduling.
