All new systems must be registered with the Suffolk County Health Department and meet strict environmental standards designed to protect Long Island’s water quality. We ensure your installation complies with all current regulations.

The grant application process requires specific documentation, contractor certification, and system specifications. We handle the technical requirements and work directly with the county to ensure your application is complete and accurate.
Grant funding is limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so it’s important to apply as soon as you’re considering installation. We can help you determine eligibility and get your application submitted quickly.
Your old cesspool must be properly abandoned according to Suffolk County regulations. This involves pumping out all contents, removing or crushing the structure, and filling the void with appropriate material to prevent ground settling.
Improper abandonment can create dangerous sinkholes or ground instability that threatens your property and safety. We handle the complete abandonment process using proper equipment and techniques to eliminate any future problems.
The abandonment work is included in our installation service and is completed before your new system goes online. All abandonment work is inspected and documented to meet county requirements and protect your property value.
