You’ll never worry about sewage backups during family gatherings or costly system failures again. Our maintenance programs catch small problems before they become expensive disasters.
Regular maintenance extends your cesspool’s life by years and keeps repair costs predictable. Instead of facing $15,000 emergency replacements, you invest a few hundred dollars annually in prevention.
Your drains flow freely, your system operates efficiently, and you have complete confidence in your wastewater management. That’s what proper maintenance delivers.
We’ve been keeping Commack homes flowing smoothly since 1998. We’re the family-owned business your neighbors trust for honest work and fair prices.
We understand Suffolk County soil conditions and regulations better than out-of-town companies. Our local reputation depends on doing right by every customer, which is why we offer military, first responder, and senior discounts.
When other companies try to oversell you services you don’t need, we tell you exactly what your system requires and when. No surprises, no runaround.
We start with a complete system assessment to determine your specific maintenance schedule. Most Commack homes need service every 2-3 years, but we base recommendations on your household size and actual usage.
During each visit, we pump accumulated sludge and scum, inspect all components for damage, and test system performance. Our technicians check for tree root infiltration, pipe cracks, and early warning signs of problems.
You receive a detailed report after each service with recommendations for optimal system health. We schedule your next appointment before we leave, so you never have to worry about remembering when maintenance is due.

Suffolk County now requires cesspool inspections every three years, and our maintenance programs ensure you meet all regulatory requirements. We handle the paperwork and documentation for you.
Since 2019, Suffolk County banned new cesspool installations, making proper maintenance of existing systems more critical than ever. Our programs help you maximize your current system’s lifespan while staying compliant with evolving regulations.
Commack’s soil conditions and groundwater levels create unique challenges for cesspool systems. Our maintenance programs address these local factors with specialized treatments and inspection protocols designed for Long Island conditions.
Most Commack homes need cesspool maintenance every 2-3 years, but the exact schedule depends on your household size and water usage. A family of four typically needs service every 2.5 years, while smaller households can often go 3-4 years between cleanings.
We determine your specific schedule during our initial assessment by measuring sludge levels and evaluating your system’s condition. Heavy water users or homes with garbage disposals may need more frequent service.
Suffolk County also requires inspections every three years for regulatory compliance, which our maintenance programs automatically include. This keeps you legal while protecting your system’s performance.
Skipping maintenance leads to sludge and scum buildup that eventually clogs your entire system. When this happens, sewage backs up into your home through drains and toilets, creating health hazards and expensive cleanup costs.
Without regular pumping, solid waste accumulates and blocks the cesspool’s absorption capacity. This forces wastewater to the surface of your yard or causes complete system failure requiring emergency replacement.
Emergency cesspool replacements in Commack typically cost $15,000-$25,000, compared to $300-$500 for routine maintenance. The math is simple: prevention costs far less than emergency repairs.
Yes, our maintenance program customers receive priority emergency response when unexpected issues arise. While regular maintenance prevents most emergencies, we’re available 24/7 if problems develop between scheduled services.
Program customers also receive discounted rates on any additional services needed, including drain cleaning, pipe repairs, or system upgrades. This protects you from surprise expenses when maintenance reveals minor issues.
We keep detailed service records for all program customers, allowing us to quickly diagnose problems and recommend the most cost-effective solutions. This history helps us spot patterns and prevent recurring issues.
Absolutely. Our maintenance programs ensure compliance with Suffolk County’s mandatory three-year inspection requirements that took effect in recent years. We handle all documentation and reporting to keep you in good standing with local authorities.
Since Suffolk County banned new cesspool installations in 2019, maintaining your existing system is more important than ever. Our programs help extend system life and delay expensive upgrades required by new regulations.
We stay current on all Suffolk County sanitary code changes and adjust our maintenance protocols accordingly. This protects you from regulatory violations while optimizing your system’s performance under current standards.
Each maintenance visit includes complete cesspool pumping, thorough system inspection, and performance testing. We remove all accumulated sludge and scum, then inspect tank walls, pipes, and connections for damage or wear.
Our technicians check for tree root infiltration, measure groundwater levels, and test soil absorption rates around your system. We also inspect access covers, distribution boxes, and any pumps or alarms in your system.
You receive a detailed report documenting system condition, any issues found, and recommendations for optimal performance. We also provide guidance on household practices that extend your system’s life between maintenance visits.
Call immediately if you notice sewage odors around your property, slow-draining fixtures throughout your home, or gurgling sounds from drains and toilets. These indicate your system is reaching capacity and needs urgent attention.
Standing water in your yard, especially near the cesspool area, signals system failure that requires emergency service. Similarly, sewage backing up into your home through drains or toilets demands immediate professional intervention.
If your alarm system activates or you notice unusually lush grass growth over your cesspool area, don’t wait for your next scheduled maintenance. These warning signs indicate problems that worsen rapidly without prompt attention.
