About Guenther Contracting

Guenther Contracting is based in Jerome, Michigan, a rural community in Hillsdale County near the Indiana border. They hold a perfect 5.0 rating and bring an interesting combination of general contracting, septic services, and landscaping to a part of the state where finding a single provider who handles multiple trades is a real convenience. Jerome and the surrounding Hillsdale County area is largely rural, with private septic systems on nearly every property and the kind of land that benefits from a contractor who understands both underground infrastructure and surface restoration.

Services & Process

Guenther Contracting's work spans general contracting, septic system service, and landscaping, which gives them a broader project view than a pump-only provider. For septic work, they can handle inspections, pumping, system repairs, and new installations. When septic work disrupts the yard, they're also positioned to handle the grading and landscaping needed to restore it properly. General contracting capability means they can coordinate larger projects where a septic system replacement is part of a broader property improvement or new construction job.

Service Area

Guenther Contracting serves Jerome and the broader Hillsdale County area in south-central Michigan. Rural properties throughout the county, as well as communities near the Hillsdale and Branch county lines, are within their service territory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Guenther Contracting handle both the septic installation and the yard restoration after the job?
Yes, that's one of the practical advantages of working with a contractor who also offers landscaping. After a septic installation or drain field repair, the disturbed ground can be graded, seeded, or otherwise restored rather than left as a work site.
What septic system types are common in Hillsdale County?
Conventional gravity systems with a tank and drain field are the most common, but mound systems are used where soil depth or drainage is limited. A contractor familiar with the county's soil profiles can advise on what system type fits your property.
Do I need a general contractor or a septic specialist for a new system on a new build in Jerome?
For a new build, a contractor who handles both is often more practical. They can coordinate the septic installation with the construction timeline, handle the required permits through Hillsdale County, and make sure the system placement doesn't conflict with other site work.
How does a mound septic system differ from a conventional one?
A mound system elevates the drain field above the natural soil surface, which is required when there isn't enough depth to the water table or bedrock. It requires more material and a larger footprint, and it needs a pump to move effluent up to the mound rather than relying on gravity.
Can landscaping changes on my property affect my existing septic system?
Yes, adding fill, planting trees near the drain field, redirecting surface drainage over the system, or compacting the soil with heavy equipment can all harm a septic system. It's worth consulting with a contractor before doing significant yard work near your drain field.
What's the process for getting a septic permit in Hillsdale County?
Hillsdale County Environmental Health issues septic permits and requires a site evaluation and system design before approval. A licensed contractor typically submits the application and coordinates the required inspections. Timelines vary but planning several weeks ahead of your project start is wise.
