Houghton County Septic, Sewer & Excavation Services

Year-Round Service Across Houghton County & the Upper Peninsula

Operating across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, our established service area covers Houghton County, including Houghton, Hancock, Calumet, South Range, and surrounding rural communities.

As a family-run company, Carey Septic, Sewer, & Excavating brings decades of hands-on experience to septic systems, sewer and water lines, excavation, and site preparation. We understand how the region’s heavy winter weather, rocky soil, and high water tables impact residential, commercial, and municipal properties.

Septic & Sewer Care for Your Property

A failing sewer or septic line requires accurate diagnosis before work begins. We inspect, maintain, and repair exterior systems for homes, businesses, and municipal facilities across Houghton County, utilizing advanced sewer cameras to locate blockages or structural damage without unnecessary digging.

Our septic and sewer capabilities include:

  • Septic tank pumping. We remove accumulated waste to keep tanks functioning and reduce the risk of backups or system damage.
  • System inspections. We evaluate accessible components and identify conditions that may require maintenance or repair.
  • Drain field design and installation We design and install the soil-based areas that receive wastewater after it leaves the septic tank.
  • Sewer camera diagnostics. We inspect the inside of a line to pinpoint blockages, damage, and other trouble spots before planning the next step.
  • Sewer and water line service, We repair and replace exterior lines, including deep connections to municipal systems.
  • Thawing and winterization. We provide cold-weather service to protect exterior pipes and septic lines from extreme Upper Peninsula freezes.

When repairs require underground access, our team seamlessly coordinates the digging, line replacement, backfilling, and surface grading as one seamless project.
