Septic Systems--New Installation and Repair of Existing Systems

Site Evaluations for Permits and System Design

Mike Sundin, Apalachee Backhoe and Septic Tank, LLC's owner, is an environmental health specialist and is able to write permits, design and value-engineer both new system installations and those needing repair. We are licensed by the state to perform the same site evaluations as Health Department personnel, but offer the advantage of reduced permitting time and can often reduce costs by our attention to individualized design techniques.
