LaChance Brothers Excavating Shares Summer Septic Tips for Vacation Homeowners

NORTHVILLE, Mich. - July 6, 2026 - PRLog -- Summer is one of the busiest seasons for septic systems at vacation homes and seasonal cabins. Increased water use, heavy guest traffic, and long periods of vacancy can all create challenges for homeowners trying to maintain reliable septic performance.

"Many vacation property owners don't realize how much stress irregular usage patterns can place on a septic system," said John LaChance, of LaChance Brothers Excavating. "Routine inspections and pumping can help homeowners avoid costly backups and drain field damage."
