Your drains flow freely again. No more slow-moving water backing up in your sinks or toilets. The foul odors disappear from your yard and home.

Most importantly, you avoid the $8,000-15,000 cost of complete cesspool replacement. Proper repairs extend your system’s life by years, not months.
We’ve been fixing cesspools in Melville and throughout Suffolk County since 1998. We’re the family-owned company your neighbors call when their systems fail.
We understand how Suffolk County’s soil conditions affect cesspool performance. Many Melville homes have older systems that need specific repair approaches, not generic solutions.
Over 325 five-star reviews prove we deliver what we promise. No surprise charges, no overselling—just honest work that keeps your system running.
First, we diagnose the actual problem. Many companies guess—we use cameras and testing to see exactly what’s wrong with your cesspool structure, pipes, or drainage.
Next, we explain your options clearly. Whether it’s repairing collapsed sections, fixing broken pipes, or replacing damaged baffles, you know what needs to happen and why.
Then we complete the repair using proper materials and techniques. No shortcuts that fail in six months. We fix it right so you don’t deal with the same problem again.

Every cesspool repair includes a complete system evaluation. We check structural integrity, pipe connections, and drainage capacity to catch problems before they become emergencies.
In Melville, we commonly repair collapsed cesspool walls, broken inlet pipes, and damaged covers. Suffolk County’s freeze-thaw cycles and soil conditions create specific stress points that we know how to address.
You receive detailed documentation of all work performed. This protects your investment and helps with future maintenance scheduling. We also provide guidance on preventing similar issues.
Most cesspool problems can be repaired if caught early. If you’re experiencing slow drains, odors, or wet spots in your yard, repair is usually the answer.
Replacement becomes necessary when the cesspool structure has completely collapsed or when repairs would cost more than 60% of replacement cost. We’ll always give you honest assessment of both options.
Signs that point toward repair include isolated pipe breaks, damaged covers, or partial structural issues. Complete system failure with multiple structural problems typically requires replacement.
Properly executed cesspool repairs in Melville typically last 10-15 years or more. The longevity depends on the specific repair type and how well you maintain the system afterward.
Pipe repairs and baffle replacements often last the longest because we use modern materials that resist Suffolk County’s soil conditions. Structural repairs depend on the extent of original damage.
The key is addressing problems early. Small repairs done promptly prevent larger structural issues that compromise the entire system’s integrity.
Melville’s soil conditions and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles create unique stresses on cesspool systems. Clay-heavy soil in some areas restricts drainage, while sandy areas can cause structural settling.
Tree root intrusion is common in established Melville neighborhoods. Roots seek moisture and can crack pipes or penetrate cesspool walls, especially in older concrete systems.
Age is the biggest factor. Many Melville homes have cesspools installed 30-50 years ago using materials and techniques that don’t meet current standards. Regular maintenance extends their life significantly.
Cesspool repairs in Melville typically range from $800-3,500 depending on the problem’s complexity. Pipe repairs and cover replacements are on the lower end, while structural work costs more.
Complete cesspool replacement runs $8,000-15,000 in Suffolk County. This makes repair the obvious choice when the system’s structure is still sound.
We provide upfront pricing for all work. You’ll know the exact cost before we start, with no hidden fees or surprise charges added later.
Collapsed cesspools can often be repaired if the collapse is partial and the remaining structure is stable. We evaluate each situation individually to determine the best approach.
For partial collapses, we can rebuild damaged sections using modern materials that integrate with the existing system. This costs significantly less than complete replacement while restoring full function.
Complete structural collapse typically requires replacement, but this is less common than homeowners think. Most “collapsed” cesspools have localized damage that’s repairable with proper techniques.
Most cesspool repairs in Melville are completed within 1-2 days. Simple pipe repairs or cover replacements often take just a few hours.
More complex structural repairs may require 2-3 days, especially if we need to excavate and rebuild sections of the cesspool. Weather conditions can affect outdoor work timing.
Emergency repairs get priority scheduling. When your cesspool backs up, we respond quickly to restore basic function, then schedule comprehensive repairs to prevent future problems.
