Logan County, Ohio
Septic & Excavation in De Graff, Ohio
De Graff is a small village in McArthur Township in the western part of Logan County. Properties outside the village limits are on private onsite septic, and the rolling terrain here is characteristic of Logan County work throughout the county.
The landscape west and southwest of Bellefontaine is actively farmed, and the tile drainage networks on that ground age and fail like they do elsewhere in our service area. When a clay tile run collapses, we locate the break and replace the affected section with modern perforated HDPE.
We include De Graff in our regular Logan County schedule. The Logan County Health District handles septic permitting for properties in McArthur Township, and we carry out the permit application and inspection coordination as part of every installation job.

It depends on your soil more than anything else. A conventional gravity leach field on well-draining soil costs meaningfully less than a mound system or an aeration system with a pump and control panel. We do not quote a number until after the soil evaluation, because anything given before that is a guess dressed up as a quote. Call for a free site visit and we will give you a firm written number.
The common signs are standing water or unusually green grass over the drain field, sewage odor near the tank or field, slow drains and gurgling toilets throughout the house rather than at one fixture, backups into the lowest drain, and an alarm sounding on an aeration or pump panel. Any of those means stop using water heavily and call. Continuing to load a struggling field is what turns a repair into a replacement.
