Metry Septic & Excavating was founded by Colin Metry, who discovered his passion for the trades while attending the University of Minnesota Duluth. After starting his career in plumbing, Colin gained valuable experience traveling across Minnesota and North Dakota before earning his journeyman plumbing license. Eventually, his love for excavation work led him back to his roots in the dirt and sewer industry, where he now serves the Detroit Lakes area with expert septic, excavation, and site services. Colin is married and blessed with two sweet daughters, who inspire his dedication to building a lasting legacy through hard work and service.

Colin was extremely helpful and friendly. Even over the phone he tried to give me some pointers to see if I could remedy the situation. He came to my home, and very professionally and competently took care of my situation. Reasonable rates, fast response to phone call, and to request to come fix things. Absolutely the best.
