Zach Rodriguez (plaid shirt) and Joe Rodriguez of Richards Septic Tank Service, install a new septic system at a residence in Turk Lake, Michigan.
Every month we capture the work that installers do across the country in the Profile and System Profile stories. Great photos accompany these stories about septic businesses and the installation jobs they do all year, but our photographers provide us with more than we could ever show you in the pages of just one issue.
So here we put together a gallery of images from these stories that didn’t make the magazine. Enjoy another look back at the installers we featured in 2020.
