About Routley's Septic Services, Inc.

Routley’s Septic Service is a family oriented business established in 2010 by our one and only Nick Routley. Nick started his septic/ plumbing career in 2008 with a local plumber. Then, at the age of 21, he decided the septic business was the job for him. He ventured out on his own and started this family business that he hopes to pass down to his children some day. 
Currently Routley’s Septic has 5 employees working alongside Nick, with plans of growing. Nick is our all-around guy who does everything from locating and uncovering hard to find septic tanks, pumping, septic inspections, repairs, and leading the installation of drain fields. Installing drain fields has been a dream of Nick’s since year one.  
Our crew is very knowledgeable when it comes to the septic systems. We love to educate our clients and is eager to help with any problems that occur.  2020 was a very big year for Routley’s Septic, and what better way to celebrate 10 years in business than buying a commercial building! We are now located in Rogers Heights, just south of Big Rapids.
