"Very professional and quality workmanship. His foreman was also very professional and knowledgeable. Dean and his crew went above and beyond to not only fix my deck and items that I hired them for in my cottage but fixed problems they found as they worked along the way, saving me time and money in the end. He always kept me informed of the projects and anything that happened to â pop up unexpectedlyâ . Iâ ve recommended him to my neighbors, and I would definitely hire him for future jobs if needed. His price point was extremely reasonable and affordable. Heâ s on site overseeing work and does a lot of the work himself. Another thing we liked. Clean up was good. Dean sent pictures of progress or if he had questions. Another thing which we liked and most contractors donâ t do. Definitely a good guy and great company!"

"APO Septic and Excavating does such an amazing job at what they do. My septic tank needed a replacement, Kerry and Jason were the first ones to get back to me and they even checked my place out for an estimate for free. I suggest going through this company! You won’t be disappointed."

"Corey and Dan did a great job. We are in the process of buying a cottage home which is on a lake. Because of this, the home has a septic field and well. We had little knowledge about septic fields and wells. After initially talking to the owner, Matt, we both felt comfortable as Matt provided the comprehensive home inspection they offered including septic fields and wells. Corey and Dan arrived on time, were courteous, answered all our questions and provided a detailed report including photographs of all areas of the home. We would highly recommend Weatherstone Property Inspections to any family that is in need of a home inspection. We had contacted them initially due to their high ratings on Angie's List."

"I just pay $75 you never know who's going to come out. They do everything electrical. Just about everything is covered except the septic tank. I had an air conditioner replaced. It went great, all I had to do was pay for the freon. He didn't charge e more than what was needed."

"Kase did our new home inspection as well as the well/septic for the home we were selling. He was on time, professional and extremely pleasant to work with. When the VA needed some additional documents for our mortgage he got them right over to us (same day). And the owner and office manager were always friendly too. I would hire this company again and again."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Silverwood, MI

The smallest standard septic system uses a 500-gallon tank, which costs between $875 and $1,150 installed. This size works well for single-occupant dwellings with minimal wastewater production. However, many local regulations specify minimum tank sizes, so check with your building department before committing to this compact option. Some jurisdictions require at least 750 gallons regardless of home size to ensure adequate waste processing capacity.

The installation timeline varies based on site conditions, permit processing, and contractor schedules. The process includes obtaining permits, conducting soil tests, excavation, tank placement, leach field construction, and final connections. Weather conditions, soil challenges, and inspection scheduling can all affect the overall timeline. It's wise to begin planning well in advance of when you need the system operational.

The most economical approach is to install a conventional anaerobic system with a plastic tank. To minimize costs while maintaining legality, obtain multiple quotes from licensed installers, consider scheduling during their slower seasons, and handle basic site preparation yourself. Never skip permits or required testing to save money—illegal installations can result in significant fines and mandatory removal, ultimately costing far more than doing it right initially.

Regular pumping helps prevent system failures and extends operational life. Most small systems require pumping every three to five years, though frequency depends on household size and usage patterns. Pumping services cost between $290 and $530, making this maintenance expense relatively minor compared to potential repair costs ranging from $500 to $2,600 for neglected systems. Establishing a regular maintenance schedule based on your installer's recommendations helps avoid costly emergency services.
