Septic System Installation & Repair in Wausau

When your yard smells like a science experiment, it’s not “just the rain.” If your septic system’s failing—or you’re building and need one done right—PGA Inc. installs, replaces, and repairs septic systems across Wausau and nearby communities with licensed pros and the excavation equipment to back it up. We coordinate with licensed third‑party system designers, and we handle permits and inspections. We also provide maintenance and preventative checks—testing alarms, verifying float/arm operation, and catching issues early.

Do You Need a New System or a Fix?

Slow drains, gurgling toilets, a soggy/odorous yard, or wastewater backing up are all red flags. Sometimes it’s a component issue—pump, alarm, electrical—or a damaged line. If replacement is necessary, we’ll explain why and what it involves. We’ll diagnose first, explain options in plain English, and help you decide: targeted repair vs. full replacement. No scare tactics. No mystery invoices.

Our Septic Services

New System Installation (Design by Licensed Third‑Party)

We partner with a licensed third‑party designer to produce the required system plan (conventional, mound, or advanced treatment where required). Once the design is approved, we handle permitting, schedule inspections, and complete the installation to code—on schedule—so you’re not living on a construction site for a month.

Maintenance & Preventative Checks

Septic problems love to show up on holidays. We keep you ahead of them with quick, practical maintenance:

Alarm testing and confirmation that the float/arm engages correctly
Pump cycle test and control panel check
Visual check of accessible tank components and risers
Filter cleaning/replacement where applicable
Winterization tips and freeze‑prevention guidance

If we find anything beyond maintenance, we’ll explain options and costs before work begins. For services we don’t perform (like pumping/jetting), we’ll coordinate with a trusted local provider.

System Replacement & Upgrades

If your existing system is undersized or past its prime, we’ll replace it with a modern, code-compliant design. We also handle component upgrades—risers, pumps, alarms, control panels—so maintenance is simpler and future repairs don’t involve treasure-hunting in your yard.

Inspections (Real Estate & Preventative)

Buying or selling? A documented inspection saves surprises. We assess tank integrity, component condition, and drainage performance, then give you clear next steps—repair, replace, or maintain.

Note: We focus on installation, maintenance checks, replacement, repairs, and inspections. Pumping/jetting is typically a different service; if you need a pump-out, we’ll point you to a trusted local provider and coordinate timing.
