Neighbors Helping Neighbors Across the U.P.

For us, being in business for over half a century means we’re doing something right. We have become part of the fabric of the Upper Peninsula and are looking out for the people who live here. We truly care about our local area, which is why we partner with various nonprofits to give back to the communities that have supported us since the beginning. One of our most meaningful efforts is our work with Pumps for Patients, where we provide free or discounted septic pumping to chemotherapy patients to help take one thing off their plate during a difficult time.

We believe in integrity, fair pricing, and helping our community thrive through both our hard work and our heart.
