Eljen - Revolutionizing Onsite Wastewater Management

Backed by decades of engineering expertise, the Eljen GSF® A42 system uses a layered approach combining geotextile fabric and a plastic core to optimize effluent treatment. This modular leachfield design increases filtration efficiency, reduces the required installation footprint, and protects soil absorption capacity for the long term. Especially effective in space-constrained or environmentally sensitive areas, it offers a reliable, sustainable upgrade to traditional septic systems.

without the need for major system overhauls. Certified for performance and scalability, the solution is ideal for homes, businesses, and larger-scale applications.

On this episode of The Dirt Bags Podcast, we're sitting down with Joe Uran — Co-Owner of Nordic Companies and just an all-around solid dude. Nordic’s been crushing it in the construction and excavation game, and they also happen to be a client of ours over at Phaser. We talk about the real side of running a business in the trades, what it takes to build something that lasts, and why staying scrappy still matters. If you're about growth, grit, and getting after it, this one’s for you.
