You wake up knowing your cesspool won’t surprise you with a backup during your morning routine. Your drains flow smoothly. Your yard doesn’t smell like a swamp.
When you schedule regular maintenance, you’re not just preventing problems—you’re buying peace of mind. No more emergency calls on weekends. No more scrambling to find someone who can help when your system decides to quit.
Your property stays clean, your family stays comfortable, and your wallet stays intact because you’re preventing expensive emergencies before they happen.
We’ve been serving Southold families and businesses for over 25 years. We’re not the guys who show up, pump, and disappear—we’re your neighbors.
We know Southold’s soil conditions, the challenges that come with living near the water, and how Long Island’s unique environment affects your cesspool system. When you call us, you’re getting decades of local knowledge, not some corporate handbook.
Our small team means you get personal attention every time. No call centers, no runaround—just honest service from people who live and work in this community.
First, we locate your cesspool and assess the access points—sometimes that means finding covers that haven’t been opened in years. We inspect the overall condition of your system before we start pumping.
Next, we use specialized equipment to remove all the accumulated waste and sludge that’s been building up. We’re thorough—this isn’t a quick in-and-out job.
Finally, we dispose of everything properly at authorized facilities and give you a realistic timeline for your next service based on your household size and usage patterns. No guessing, no generic schedules—just honest recommendations based on your specific situation.

You get a complete assessment of your system’s health, not just a pump-and-run service. We check for potential problems that could turn into expensive repairs down the road.
In Southold, with our proximity to water and the unique soil conditions on the North Fork, cesspool systems face different challenges than inland areas. We understand how seasonal changes, heavy rains, and the local water table affect your system’s performance.
Our service includes proper waste disposal following all environmental regulations—important when you’re living this close to Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay. We also provide realistic maintenance schedules based on your property’s actual usage, not some generic timeline that doesn’t fit your situation.
Most residential cesspools in Southold need pumping every 2-4 years, but your specific timeline depends on household size, water usage, and your system’s age and condition. A family of four typically needs service every 3 years.
We don’t give you a generic schedule—we base our recommendations on your actual usage patterns and system capacity. Factors like having a garbage disposal, doing lots of laundry, or hosting frequent guests all affect how quickly your cesspool fills up.
After we service your system, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on what we found during the pumping, not some one-size-fits-all recommendation that doesn’t match your situation.
Slow drains throughout your house, gurgling sounds when you flush toilets or run water, and sewage odors in your yard or home are all red flags that need immediate attention. Don’t wait if you’re experiencing these symptoms.
Multiple fixtures backing up at once—like your toilet, shower, and sink all acting up together—usually means your main line or cesspool is full or blocked. This isn’t something you can plunge your way out of.
If you notice patches of extra-green grass over your cesspool area or standing water where there shouldn’t be any, your system is likely failing and needs professional assessment right away.
Residential cesspool pumping in Southold typically ranges from $300-600, depending on your tank size, accessibility, and how long it’s been since your last service. We provide upfront pricing—no surprises when we’re done.
Additional costs might apply if we need to locate buried covers, pump from difficult access points, or if your system hasn’t been maintained in many years and requires extra time. We’ll discuss any additional charges before we start work.
We offer military, first responder, and senior discounts because we believe in supporting our community. The investment in regular maintenance is always less expensive than dealing with system failure and emergency repairs.
Yes, we locate buried or hidden cesspool covers using electronic detection equipment and decades of experience knowing where systems are typically installed in Southold properties. Finding lost covers is part of what we do.
Many homeowners lose track of their cesspool location over the years, especially if the previous owner never showed them or if landscaping has changed. We use specialized locating tools and can usually find your system without damaging your yard.
Once we locate your cesspool, we can install risers to bring the access point closer to ground level, making future maintenance much easier and more affordable.
We transport all waste to authorized treatment facilities that handle sewage according to environmental regulations. Nothing gets dumped illegally or inappropriately—this is especially important given Southold’s proximity to sensitive water bodies.
Our trucks are properly licensed for waste transport, and we follow all Suffolk County and New York State requirements for sewage disposal. You can be confident that your waste is being handled responsibly.
We maintain records of proper disposal for regulatory compliance and can provide documentation if needed for your property records or any environmental assessments.
Yes, we provide emergency service when your cesspool system fails and threatens your property or health. Sewage backups, overflowing systems, and complete blockages qualify as emergencies that need immediate attention.
We understand that cesspool problems don’t wait for convenient business hours. When you’re dealing with sewage backing up into your home or yard, you need someone who can respond quickly and fix the problem right.
Our emergency service includes assessment, immediate pumping if needed, and temporary solutions to protect your property while we develop a permanent fix. We’ll work with you to prevent the emergency from happening again.
