Hear From Our Clients
You flush the toilet and forget about it. Your drains empty without that slow, gurgling sound that makes you hold your breath. No mysterious puddles in the yard, no calls to your neighbors asking if they smell something awful.
That’s what happens when your cesspool gets the maintenance it needs before problems start. Regular pumping removes waste before it backs up into your home. Scheduled inspections catch small issues before they become thousand-dollar disasters.
Most South Huntington homeowners wait until something goes wrong. By then, you’re looking at emergency rates, sewage in your basement, and repairs that could have been avoided entirely.
We’ve been keeping South Huntington systems running for over 25 years. We’re the family-owned company your neighbors call when they need honest work at fair prices.
We know the older cesspool systems in this area because we’ve been servicing them for decades. Many homes here were built when cesspools were standard, and these systems need more frequent attention than newer septic setups.
Our maintenance programs aren’t about selling you services you don’t need. We measure actual waste levels and customize schedules based on your household size and usage patterns.
First, we assess your current system and usage patterns. How many people live in your home, how often you do laundry, whether you have a garbage disposal – all of this affects how quickly waste accumulates.
Then we create a maintenance schedule that makes sense for your situation. Single-person homes typically need service every 3-4 years, while families of four usually need pumping every 1-2 years.
Each service includes complete pumping, system inspection, and a report on what we found. We’ll tell you if everything looks good or if there are issues developing that need attention. No surprises, no pressure to buy extras you don’t need.

Your maintenance program includes scheduled pumping based on your system’s actual needs, not some generic timeline. We track waste accumulation rates during each service to fine-tune your schedule.
Every visit includes an eight-point inspection that checks for cracks, clogs, or other issues developing in your system. We locate problems early when they’re still small and affordable to fix.
South Huntington’s older cesspool systems often need more frequent service than newer septic tanks. Our programs account for this reality instead of using one-size-fits-all schedules that don’t work for the systems in this area.
Most South Huntington homes need cesspool pumping every 1-3 years, depending on household size and usage. Single-person homes typically go 3-4 years between services, while families of four usually need pumping every 1-2 years.
We don’t use generic schedules because every system is different. During each service, we measure actual waste accumulation to determine when you’ll really need the next pumping. Homes with garbage disposals, large families, or frequent entertaining need more frequent service.
Your maintenance program schedule is based on your system’s actual performance, not calendar dates. This prevents both unnecessary service calls and waiting too long between pumpings.
Maintenance program customers get priority scheduling for emergency calls, but the goal is preventing emergencies entirely. Regular pumping and inspections catch problems before they become urgent situations.
If an emergency does happen, you won’t pay emergency rates for basic pumping or minor repairs. The program covers standard service even if it’s needed outside your regular schedule.
Most cesspool emergencies happen because homeowners wait too long between services or skip maintenance entirely. Systems that get regular attention rarely have sudden failures or backups.
Yes, because scheduled maintenance catches problems when they’re still small and affordable to fix. A cracked pipe that gets attention during routine inspection might cost $200 to repair. Wait until it causes a backup, and you’re looking at emergency rates plus damage cleanup.
Regular pumping prevents waste from compacting and hardening, which makes removal much more difficult and expensive. Systems pumped on schedule require less time and effort, keeping service costs lower.
The biggest savings come from avoiding system replacement. Cesspools that get proper maintenance can last decades, while neglected systems often fail within 10-15 years and cost thousands to replace.
Program costs depend on your service frequency and system size, but most South Huntington homeowners save money compared to calling for individual services. Regular pumping typically costs $300-600 per visit, depending on how much waste needs removal.
Maintenance program members get discounted rates and avoid the higher prices charged for emergency or one-time service calls. You also avoid the premium costs that come with waiting until your system backs up.
We offer military, first responder, and senior discounts that reduce program costs even further. The exact savings depend on your service schedule and any applicable discounts.
Yes, maintenance programs are flexible and can be cancelled with notice. Many homeowners actually transfer their programs to new owners as a selling point, since having an established maintenance schedule adds value to the property.
Buyers appreciate knowing the cesspool has been properly maintained and that there’s already a service relationship in place. It’s one less thing they need to research and arrange after moving in.
If you do cancel, we’ll provide documentation of all services performed, which helps establish the system’s maintenance history for the new owners or their chosen service provider.
We customize maintenance schedules based on actual waste accumulation rates, not generic timelines that may not fit your system’s needs. During each service, we measure how quickly waste builds up to determine when you’ll really need the next pumping.
Our eight-point inspections during every visit catch developing problems early, when they’re still affordable to fix. We explain what we find in plain language and don’t pressure you to buy services you don’t need.
As a family-owned company serving South Huntington since 1998, we focus on long-term customer relationships rather than maximizing individual service calls. Our goal is keeping your system running properly, not selling you unnecessary extras.
