We’ve been installing cesspool systems throughout Islip Terrace and Suffolk County for over 25 years. We understand how the sandy soil conditions in this area affect your system’s performance and which solutions actually last.
As a family-owned business, we keep our team small so every customer gets personalized attention. We’re not trying to be the biggest company in Suffolk County – we’re focused on doing the work right the first time.
We know the local regulations, work directly with Suffolk County Health Department, and handle all the permit applications and inspections. When you call us, you’re dealing with people who live and work in this community.
We start with a site evaluation to determine the best location for your new system. This includes soil testing, measuring setbacks from wells and property lines, and designing a system that meets Suffolk County requirements for your specific property.
Next, we handle all permit applications with the health department. You don’t need to deal with the paperwork or wait in line – we manage the entire approval process and schedule all required inspections.
Once permits are approved, we excavate the site using proper equipment and install your new cesspool system. This includes the tank placement, distribution box, and all connecting pipes. We test everything before backfilling and complete the final inspection to get your system approved for use.

Your cesspool installation includes everything needed for a complete, code-compliant system. We provide the precast concrete tank, distribution box, all piping, and proper stone backfill around distribution lines.
In Islip Terrace, installations must meet Suffolk County’s minimum setback requirements – 100 feet from water wells and 20 feet from property lines. We handle the site survey to ensure your system placement meets all local regulations.
The installation process typically takes 2-3 days once permits are approved. We coordinate with Suffolk County Health Department for all required inspections at excavation, tank placement, and backfill stages. Your system comes with warranty coverage for materials and workmanship, and we provide clear maintenance guidelines to keep everything running properly for decades.
Complete cesspool installation typically costs $8,000-15,000 depending on system size, soil conditions, and permit requirements. This includes the tank, excavation, all piping, permits, and inspections.
The final cost depends on your property’s specific conditions and household size. Sandy soil common in Islip Terrace may require larger distribution systems, while clay soils need modified designs to prevent backup during wet weather.
We provide upfront pricing before starting work so you know exactly what to expect. The cost of proper installation is much less than dealing with system failure or property damage from backups later.
Suffolk County requires permits from the Health Department before any cesspool installation can begin. This includes site evaluation approval, system design approval, construction permits, and final inspection approval.
We handle all permit applications for you, including the paperwork, site surveys, and coordination with health department inspectors. The permitting process involves multiple steps that must be completed in the right order.
Attempting to navigate this process without experienced guidance often leads to delays, additional costs, or compliance issues. We manage the entire approval process and schedule all required inspections to keep your installation on track.
Most installations take 2-3 days once permits are approved. The timeline depends on permit approval and site conditions, but the actual installation work is typically completed quickly.
The permitting process usually takes longer than the physical installation. We submit applications early and coordinate with Suffolk County Health Department to minimize delays.
