60+ Years of Family Service
In 1964, when most people didn't think twice about their septic systems, the Miller Bartz family started something different in Shiawassee County. We believed that septic service should be more than just pumping tanks—it should be about building relationships and helping our neighbors understand their homes.
Back then, septic service was often a mystery to homeowners. Companies would show up, do the work, and leave without a word of explanation. We thought that was wrong. We believed that when you understand your septic system, you make better decisions. You catch problems earlier. You avoid expensive emergencies.
"We've always believed that educating people on their septic systems prevents future problems and emergencies. That philosophy hasn't changed in 60 years."
Three generations later, we're still a small family business with the same values: be honest, be fair, and treat every customer like a neighbor. Because in Shiawassee County, they usually are. We've served over 5,000 families in our community, and many of them have been with us for decades.
Today, Joshua Crambell continues the Miller Bartz tradition. He believes the same thing we've always believed: that every homeowner deserves to understand their septic system, and that there's no such thing as a dumb question. When you call Miller Bartz, you're not just getting septic service—you're getting 60 years of family expertise and a partner who genuinely wants to help.
