Union County, Ohio
Septic & Excavation in Richwood, Ohio
Richwood is a village in Rush Township in the northern part of Union County, surrounded by working farmland. Properties outside the village limits rely on private onsite septic, and the area is typical of the flat, tile-drained agricultural ground we work regularly throughout Union County.
Union County permit volume runs high and review timelines can stretch, especially as growth pushes north from Marysville. We start soil evaluations and permit applications early so the front-end process does not become the thing that delays a build or a replacement project in the Richwood area.
Collapsed field tile is a recurring problem on the farm ground around Richwood. A wet spot that returns to the same low corner of a field every spring is almost always a failed clay tile run, and the correct fix is to locate the failure and replace the affected section with modern perforated HDPE.

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.

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.
