Septic System Repair in Northern Westchester & Putnam

Most septic failures start small: a cracked baffle, a broken pipe between the house and tank, a failed effluent pump or a settled distribution box. Caught early, these are repairs. Ignored, they become replacements.

What to know

• In Putnam County, septic repairs must be done by a county-licensed contractor unless the homeowner does the work.
• Westchester County licenses septic contractors and requires repair paperwork to be filed with the Health Department.
• A camera inspection of the lines often finds the real problem faster than digging.
• Ask for the repair to be documented, so it is on file when you sell the house.
