We’re not just another cesspool company—we’re your neighbors. AAA Dependable Cesspool has been serving Islip and Suffolk County families for over 25 years, understanding exactly what Long Island homeowners face with their septic systems.

First, we locate your septic tank and assess the situation. If you’re not sure where your tank is, we can find it using electronic detection equipment—no guesswork, no property damage.
Next, we pump out the accumulated solids and liquids, disposing of everything according to Suffolk County environmental regulations. We also inspect your tank condition and let you know if we spot any concerns that need attention.
Throughout the process, we keep you informed about what we’re finding and what it means for your system. You get updates so you know exactly what’s happening and when your system will be back to normal operation.

Our septic pumping service covers everything Islip homeowners actually need. Regular pumping every 3-5 years keeps your system functioning properly and prevents costly backups.
We handle the specific challenges of Long Island properties—high water tables, sandy soils, and older systems that need expert attention. Our team understands how local soil conditions affect your system and what it takes to keep everything running properly.
You also get emergency service when things go wrong at the worst possible time. With Suffolk County’s new regulations requiring system upgrades and registrations, we help you stay compliant while protecting your investment and Long Island’s water quality.
Most Islip homes need septic tank pumping every 3-5 years, but your actual schedule depends on household size and water usage. A family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank typically needs pumping every 3-4 years.
Smaller households might stretch this to 4-5 years, while larger families or homes with heavy water usage should pump every 2-3 years. If you have a garbage disposal or do a lot of laundry, you might need more frequent service.
We can assess your specific situation and recommend the right schedule for your home. Regular pumping prevents solids from building up and causing backups or system failure—it’s much cheaper than emergency repairs or system replacement.
Watch for slow draining sinks, toilets, or showers—that’s often the first sign your system needs attention. Bad smells around your septic tank or drain field area indicate problems developing.
Standing water or unusually green grass over your septic area means effluent is surfacing, which requires immediate attention. Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets backing up are serious warning signs that shouldn’t be ignored.
If you can’t remember the last time you had pumping done, that’s a sign too. Most Long Island homeowners lose track of their maintenance schedule, which is why we recommend keeping records and setting reminders for regular service.
Septic tank pumping in Islip typically runs $300-500 for a standard residential tank, depending on size and access. A typical 1,000-gallon tank—the most common size for Long Island homes—usually runs $350 to $450.
Larger 1,500-gallon systems push that up to $450-$550, while smaller 750-gallon tanks might come in around $300-$400. Emergency service costs more than scheduled maintenance, which is why regular pumping makes financial sense.
We provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. The investment makes sense when you consider that replacing a failed septic system can cost $15,000-25,000.
Neglecting regular septic pumping leads to system backups, failures, and costly repairs. When solids build up, they can overflow into your drain field, causing blockages and complete system failure.
You’ll face sewage backups in your home, environmental hazards, and potential health risks for your family. The accumulated sludge can also damage your drain field, which rarely recovers and often requires expensive replacement.
Long Island’s environmental regulations make unpermitted system failures even more costly. You could face fines, mandatory upgrades to meet Suffolk County’s new nitrogen-reducing requirements, and emergency repair costs that run into tens of thousands of dollars.
Yes, we stay current with all Suffolk County septic regulations, including the new requirements that took effect in 2019. These regulations require registration of system replacements and adherence to minimum standards for new installations.
We understand the nitrogen-reducing requirements for certain projects and can help you navigate compliance issues. Suffolk County now requires permits for replacement of existing systems, and we handle the paperwork and coordination with the health department.
Our local expertise means we know which situations trigger upgrade requirements and which are exempt. We help you understand your options and take advantage of available rebates and incentives that can offset upgrade costs.
We’re your neighbors with over 25 years serving Islip and Suffolk County families. As a family-owned business, we understand how important it is to have someone you can trust when septic problems strike.
