About Al Miller Bartz Septic

Three generations of honest, educational septic service for Shiawassee County families.

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.

Our Core Values

Honesty

We tell you what we find, even if it's not what you want to hear. We never recommend services you don't need or hide problems to make a sale.

Education

We don't just pump and run. We explain what we find, answer your questions, and teach you how to keep your system healthy for years to come.

Fair Pricing

No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no pressure tactics. We quote fair prices upfront and stick to them. Period.

Our Vision

To be the most trusted name in septic service—not the biggest, not the cheapest, but the one our neighbors know they can count on for honest work and fair treatment.
