 Septic
systems require repair or replacement from time to time.
A failing or malfunctioning
septic system can expose you, your family and your neighbors to sewage
that contains disease-causing pathogens and viruses.
Sewage can also contaminate
ground and surface water, possibly polluting wells, rivers, streams or
lakes near your home.
Podgurski Corporation
specializes in diagnosing and then repairing or replacing any pipes going
from the town sewerage system to your home. First, a careful evaluation of
the pipe(s) in the system must be accomplished. This may require the help
of our specialized underground video equipment. We have equipment able to
view pipes of any size and furnish accurate reports of the problems inside
the pipes. This saves time and money and may prevent digging in spots not
required.

• Very wet spots with lush green grass growth over the drainfield or
septic tank areas

• Plumbing or septic tank back-ups

Septic System
Revitalization:
To revitalize septic systems, it is sometimes advisable to clear out
clogged septic lines. Sediment accumulates and decreases the efficiency of
the system and, at times, may clog the system completely.
First, Podgurski Corp. will
clear the lines using their Super Squirt
residential jetting equipment or, if needed, the
Jumbo Jet, made for larger line
diameters. After jetting the system and clearing the sediment and debris,
they introduce an oxidizer called Aid-Ox to help maintain the system’s
health going forward.
Remember…
• A failing septic system may not have to be replaced with a new system.
We’ll advise you on your repair options.
• Pumping a failing system is only a temporary solution. While it may be
necessary to have the tank pumped during the repair process, pumping the
tank alone may not correct a failing septic system. Repairs to a septic
system may save you time and money in the long run.
