They try not to do a string of raised mound systems because of the time required to haul in material for the mounds. The next week we can do two raised mound systems,” Zach Rodriguez says. One week we can do all conventional gravity systems.
“We have a mixture of soils around our area. If the requirement is a conventional gravity septic system, Richards Septic’s crews can usually do four a week. Richards Septic provides onsite installing and repairs, excavation, pumping, and portable restrooms. To keep everything simple for that eventuality, the website and other business services remain integrated. His father, Joe Rodriguez, runs the pumping division, but when he retires, the divisions will merge. Rodriguez currently runs the installing division. It took us six months longer than we wanted, but we made it back.” Time away from home was getting too long, and he had missed the birth of his nephew, among other family events. It was his grandfather, Ron Richards, who asked if he wanted to take a role in the family business. He worked for a service company and operated equipment, so those skills remained fresh when he decided the time was right to return to Michigan. “I went out there to blossom and figure out what direction I needed to take and to step out of this a little bit,” he says. Like many children from multigenerational family businesses, he grew up with the company but then left, heading for the oil fields of North Dakota. Rodriguez has been back in the family business for only three years.
We’ve taken on a lot of other aspects within our business,” he says. When Zach Rodriguez is ready to take control of the company still owned by his grandparents, he’ll have a successful venture in western Michigan. Richards Septic Tank Service is 58 and still going and growing. Zach Rodriguez uses a Case backhoe to dig a trench leading to a new septic tank.
