First, we handle all your Suffolk County permits and registrations with the Department of Health Services. This step is required for all new installations since 2019, and we make sure everything’s filed correctly before we break ground.
Next comes site preparation and excavation. We use professional construction equipment to dig your cesspool location and create the drainage field according to approved county plans. The excavation depth and positioning are critical for proper function, especially with East Farmingdale’s soil conditions.
Then we install your new cesspool system, including the required septic tank that must precede the leaching structure under current Suffolk County regulations. All plumbing connections are made, drainage pipes are properly positioned, and the system is backfilled with appropriate materials. We complete a final inspection to ensure everything meets code before you’re cleared for use.

We handle the entire permit process for you, including filing registrations with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services.

Most cesspool installations in East Farmingdale take 2-4 days to complete, depending on soil conditions and system complexity. The permit approval process typically adds 2-3 weeks before we can start excavation.
We coordinate the entire timeline for you, from initial permit filing through final inspection. Weather and soil conditions can affect the schedule—East Farmingdale’s clay-heavy soil sometimes requires additional excavation time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if any delays occur. The key is not rushing the process, because proper installation prevents costly problems later.
Since July 1, 2019, Suffolk County banned direct cesspool replacements and now requires a septic tank before any leaching structure. This means you can’t simply install a new cesspool where the old one was—the system must include proper waste treatment components.
New installations must also incorporate nitrogen-reducing technology to protect Long Island’s groundwater. All work requires permits and registration with the Department of Health Services, and contractors must report installation details to the county. These changes were implemented to address nitrogen pollution that was degrading water quality throughout Suffolk County. While the requirements are stricter, they ensure your system protects both your property and the local environment.

You’ll have all the proper approvals in place before we start excavation.
Common signs include slow drains throughout your house, sewage odors near your tank area, wet spots in your yard over the system, and gurgling sounds from drains or toilets. If sewage is backing up into your home, you need immediate attention.
In East Farmingdale, many homes have cesspools installed in the 1950s-1970s that are reaching the end of their useful life. Older systems also don’t meet current Suffolk County environmental standards. We can perform a comprehensive inspection to assess your current system’s condition and determine whether repair, pumping, or full replacement is the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes what looks like a major problem can be resolved with maintenance, and we’ll give you an honest assessment of your options.
