Company History


My father, Roger Richard started this company in 1946 as Richard's Well Tile Company, precasting concrete drain tile and well tile for the houses my uncle was building nearby. He made his first concrete septic tanks in 1952. The company has grown over the years  and today it is a leading supplier of precast concrete septic tanks, leaching chambers, distribution boxes, dosing chambers, well tile, and more.
