Hear From Our Clients
You know that sinking feeling when your drains start backing up. The panic when you smell something off in your yard. The dread of calling for emergency service at 2 AM.
Our maintenance programs eliminate all of that. Your cesspool gets inspected and serviced on schedule, before problems start. You get a heads-up about any issues we spot. Your system keeps working, your property stays protected, and you sleep better knowing everything’s handled.
No more crossing your fingers every time you flush. No more wondering if this is the year your system fails. Just reliable performance, year after year.
We’re not some big corporate outfit from out of state. We’re your neighbors in Suffolk County, and we’ve been taking care of cesspools here for over 25 years.
That matters in Mastic because we know how your soil drains, what your water table does in different seasons, and which systems work best in your neighborhood. We’ve seen what happens when maintenance gets skipped, and we’ve helped hundreds of families avoid those expensive disasters.
When you work with us, you’re supporting a local family business that gives back to the community through veteran support and first responder discounts. We’re here for the long haul, not just the quick sale.
We start with an eight-point inspection of your entire system. We check pumping levels, test drainage, inspect for leaks, and look for any signs of trouble developing. Everything gets documented so you know exactly what’s happening with your system.
Based on what we find, we create a maintenance schedule that fits your specific setup. Some systems need attention every year, others can go longer. We factor in your household size, system age, and usage patterns to get the timing right.
When service time comes, we handle everything. Pumping, cleaning, minor repairs, chemical treatments if needed. You get a detailed report on what we did and when you’ll need us back. No surprises, no emergency calls, just steady maintenance that keeps everything running smoothly.

Every maintenance visit includes our complete eight-point system inspection, professional pumping when needed, and documentation of your system’s condition. We also provide chemical treatments and aeration services if your system needs them.
In Mastic, we see a lot of older systems that were installed decades ago. These need more frequent attention than newer setups, typically every 1-3 years depending on usage. We also deal with the unique challenges of Suffolk County’s soil conditions and water table fluctuations.
Your maintenance program includes priority scheduling for any issues that come up between visits, detailed service records for your property files, and early warning about potential problems before they become expensive emergencies. We also help you take advantage of Suffolk County’s septic improvement grants when it’s time for system upgrades.
Most residential systems in Mastic need maintenance every 2-3 years, but it depends on several factors. Household size plays a big role – more people means more frequent service. System age matters too, with older cesspools needing attention more often.
We also consider your specific usage patterns and system design. A family of six with an older cesspool might need annual service, while a couple with a newer system could go 3-4 years between visits. After our initial inspection, we’ll recommend the right schedule for your situation.
The key is consistency. Regular maintenance costs a fraction of what you’d pay for emergency repairs or system replacement. We’ve seen too many Mastic homeowners wait until problems develop, then face bills in the thousands instead of a few hundred for routine service.
Skipped maintenance leads to sludge buildup, which eventually causes backups, overflows, and system failure. When your cesspool can’t process waste properly, sewage starts backing up into your house or pooling in your yard – both dangerous and expensive to fix.
We’ve responded to emergency calls where homeowners faced complete system replacement because maintenance was deferred too long. A $20,000 replacement could have been prevented with $300 annual maintenance visits. The math is pretty clear.
Beyond the financial impact, failed systems create health hazards and environmental problems. Raw sewage exposure is dangerous, and contaminated groundwater affects your neighbors too. Regular maintenance protects your family, your property value, and your community’s water quality.
Absolutely. Regular maintenance typically costs $200-400 per visit, while emergency repairs start around $1,000 and system replacements run $15,000-25,000. The math works heavily in favor of prevention.
We catch small problems during routine visits – a minor leak, early signs of drainage issues, or components that need adjustment. Fixing these issues costs hundreds, not thousands. Wait until they cause system failure, and you’re looking at major excavation, replacement parts, and emergency service rates.
Plus, well-maintained systems last decades longer than neglected ones. Your maintenance investment protects a system that’s worth tens of thousands to replace. Suffolk County also offers grants up to $20,000 for system improvements, but you need proper maintenance records to qualify.
Our comprehensive inspection covers every critical component of your cesspool system. We check sludge and scum levels to determine if pumping is needed, test all drainage points for proper flow, and inspect the tank structure for cracks or damage.
We also examine inlet and outlet pipes, check baffles and filters, test the leach field for proper absorption, and document the overall system condition. Everything gets photographed and recorded so you have a complete picture of your system’s health.
If we spot potential problems, we explain what we found and recommend solutions before issues become emergencies. You get a detailed written report after each visit, plus recommendations for any follow-up work or schedule adjustments needed to keep your system running optimally.
Yes, we help customers navigate Suffolk County’s septic improvement programs that provide up to $20,000 in grants for system upgrades. These programs are designed to improve water quality by replacing older systems with advanced treatment technology.
To qualify, you need proper maintenance records and documentation of your current system’s condition – exactly what our maintenance programs provide. We handle the technical assessments required for grant applications and can recommend which upgrades make the most sense for your property.
The grant process can be complex, but we’ve helped many Mastic homeowners secure funding for system improvements. Having a maintenance history with us strengthens your application and ensures you meet all the program requirements for maximum grant eligibility.
Yes, maintenance program customers get priority emergency service 24/7. If something goes wrong between scheduled visits, you’re not stuck waiting or paying premium rates for emergency calls from other companies.
We respond to emergency calls within hours, not days, and our maintenance customers pay standard rates even for after-hours service. Since we already know your system from regular visits, we can diagnose problems faster and get you back up and running quickly.
Most maintenance program customers rarely need emergency service because we catch problems early during routine visits. But when unexpected issues do arise – like a power outage affecting your pump or damage from heavy storms – we’re there to help immediately with no surprises on pricing.
