Scott’s Excavating has been providing trusted septic services throughout Roscommon and Crawford Counties for decades. Operating year-round—even during Michigan’s harsh winter months—Scott’s uses a Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) licensed septic cleaning vacuum truck [#20-05] and maintains several MDEQ-licensed septage land application sites for safe disposal and recycling of septage waste. By handling septic maintenance responsibly, Scott’s helps prevent premature system failure and ensures cleaner effluent is discharged into seepage areas, extending the life of residential and seasonal systems.

In October 2004, the State of Michigan updated regulations governing the transportation and disposal of septage waste. While these changes, along with rising fuel costs, have increased the cost of servicing septic tanks, Scott’s remains committed to providing affordable, high-quality maintenance. Mark Scott emphasizes the importance of routine septic care—typically every 2–5 years for full-time residents—as a critical step in preserving water quality in local lakes, streams, and wells. By following proper disposal and recycling practices, Scott’s not only ensures regulatory compliance but also helps protect Northern Michigan’s water resources for future generations.
