Your toilets flush normally again. No more slow drains backing up when you’re trying to get ready for work. The foul smell that’s been embarrassing you in front of neighbors is gone for good.
You’re not dealing with raw sewage pooling in your yard or worrying about expensive emergency calls every few months. Your cesspool works the way it should, quietly handling your household waste without constant stress or surprise repair bills that hit $8,000-15,000.
Most importantly, you’re not getting sold services you don’t need. You get an honest assessment, a fair price, and repairs that actually solve the problem instead of just treating symptoms until the next breakdown.
We’ve been fixing cesspool problems for Selden families for over 25 years. We’re the local company that shows up when we say we will and charges exactly what we quote—no surprises, no hidden fees.
We know Suffolk County’s clay soil conditions make cesspool issues more complicated than other areas. Clay doesn’t absorb liquids quickly, so when your system fails, it can cause surface contamination that affects your neighbors too. That’s why we don’t guess at solutions or recommend expensive overhauls when a targeted repair will do the job.
Our family-owned business has earned over 325 five-star reviews by being straight with customers about what they actually need. We offer military, first responder, and senior discounts because we appreciate what our Selden community does for all of us.
First, we respond fast. We’re often the first company to call you back, and we can usually get someone to your Selden property the same day or next morning. No waiting around for days while your problem gets worse.
Our technician locates your cesspool and does a thorough inspection to find the actual problem. We use video cameras and electronic location equipment when needed, so you can see exactly what’s wrong instead of just taking our word for it. You get a USB copy of any video inspection for your records.
Then we explain what needs to be fixed and give you the cost upfront. We start with the most affordable solution that will actually solve your problem. If a $300 pipe repair will fix it, we’re not pushing a $2,000 system overhaul. You only pay for what you actually need.

We handle every type of cesspool repair Selden homeowners face. Collapsed cesspool walls from age or ground shifting that cause structural failure. Broken inlet and outlet pipes that create backups throughout your house. Damaged baffles that let solids escape into your drain field and clog the whole system.
Cracked or broken cesspool covers that create safety hazards and let surface water contaminate your system. Structural damage from tree roots, heavy equipment, or settling that compromises your whole system’s integrity.
In Selden’s challenging soil conditions, these problems escalate quickly. Long Island’s clay soil creates unique drainage challenges that many contractors don’t understand. We’ve been working with these conditions for over 25 years, so we know which repair methods actually work and which ones just waste your money.
Cesspool repair costs in Selden depend on what’s actually wrong with your system. Simple pipe repairs or baffle replacements might cost $300-800, while structural damage could run $1,500-3,000. Complete system failure requiring replacement hits $8,000-15,000.
The key is getting an honest diagnosis first. We’ve seen too many Selden homeowners get quoted $2,000+ for complete system overhauls when a $400 pipe repair would solve the problem. That’s why we always start with the most affordable fix that will actually work.
We give you the exact cost upfront after we inspect your system. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no “oh, we found more problems” after we start the job. You know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins.
The most obvious signs are slow drains throughout your house, toilets that won’t flush properly, or sewage odors around your property. You might also notice wet spots in your yard that don’t dry up, especially after it hasn’t rained for days.
Gurgling sounds from your plumbing fixtures are another red flag. This usually means your cesspool is backing up and can’t handle the waste load anymore. In Selden’s clay soil conditions, these problems can escalate to surface contamination quickly.
Don’t wait for sewage to back up into your house or pool in your yard. That’s when a repair becomes an expensive emergency cleanup situation. If you’re noticing any of these warning signs, get it checked out before the problem gets worse and costs more to fix.
Most cesspool repairs in Selden take between 2-6 hours, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple pipe repairs or baffle replacements can often be completed in a morning. More complex structural repairs might take a full day, especially if we need to excavate around your cesspool.
We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your system, not some vague “it depends” answer. If weather conditions or unexpected complications arise, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
The good news is we can usually get started the same day you call. We keep common repair parts on our trucks, so we’re not making multiple trips or leaving you with a broken system for days while we order parts from suppliers.
Yes, we repair collapsed cesspools in Selden, but the approach depends on how much structural damage there is. If it’s a partial collapse where one wall has caved in, we can often rebuild that section without replacing the entire system, saving you thousands.
Complete collapses usually require full cesspool replacement, which runs $8,000-15,000. But we’ll always check if a repair is possible first, because even major repairs typically cost 50-70% less than full replacement.
Suffolk County’s clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles can cause cesspool walls to crack and eventually collapse. The sooner you address structural problems, the more likely we can repair instead of replace your system. Don’t wait until a small crack becomes a complete failure.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency cesspool repair service in Selden. When sewage is backing up into your house or you have raw waste pooling in your yard, that’s a health hazard that can’t wait until regular business hours.
We respond to emergencies the same day, often within a few hours of your call. Emergency repairs cost more than scheduled service, but we’re transparent about pricing upfront and won’t hit you with surprise charges when you’re already dealing with a stressful situation.
Most “emergencies” could have been prevented with regular maintenance, but we understand that life happens. When you need immediate help with your cesspool in Selden, we’ll be there with the equipment and expertise to get your system working again.
Most homeowners insurance policies in Selden don’t cover cesspool repairs unless the damage was caused by a covered event like a fallen tree or vehicle accident. Normal wear and tear, age-related failures, and lack of maintenance aren’t typically covered by standard policies.
However, some policies might cover damage to your home if a cesspool failure causes sewage backup inside your house. Check with your insurance agent about your specific coverage and whether you have sewer backup coverage as an add-on.
Suffolk County also offers grant programs that can help offset cesspool repair and replacement costs, especially if your system is affecting local water quality. These grants can cover up to $30,000 for qualifying homeowners. We can help you understand what assistance might be available for your situation.
