When your old cesspool finally gives out, you need more than just a hole in the ground. You need a system that’ll handle your family’s needs for decades without backing up into your basement or failing inspection.
That’s exactly what you get with our cesspool installation service. We handle the permits, navigate Suffolk County’s requirements, and install your system to current standards. No cutting corners, no “we’ll figure it out later” approach.
Your new cesspool works from day one and keeps working. That means no emergency calls, no flooded yards, and no wondering if you picked the right contractor.
We’ve been installing cesspools in Kings Park since 1998. That’s over 25 years of dealing with Suffolk County regulations, local soil conditions, and the unique challenges that come with working near Nissequogue River State Park and the surrounding areas.
Being family-owned means we’re not going anywhere. When we install your cesspool, we’re the ones you’ll call if you ever need service. We’re not some big company that’ll disappear or pass you off to whoever’s available.
Kings Park homeowners know they can count on us because we live here too. We support local veteran organizations like Paws of War, and we offer military and senior discounts because that’s how neighbors should treat each other.
First, we handle the permit paperwork with Suffolk County. No back-and-forth, no delays—we know exactly what they need and how to get it approved quickly.
Next comes excavation. We dig precisely to avoid your utilities, preserve your landscaping where possible, and set up the work area so your daily routine isn’t completely disrupted. The actual cesspool installation involves setting the concrete structure, connecting all pipes properly, and backfilling with the right materials.
Finally, we test everything, clean up completely, and walk you through basic maintenance so your new system lasts. You get all your permits, a system that passes inspection, and a yard that looks like we were never there.

Your cesspool installation includes permit acquisition, excavation, proper system sizing for your home, connection to existing plumbing, and complete site restoration. We also provide the required inspections and documentation for Suffolk County compliance.
In Kings Park specifically, soil conditions near the water can affect installation depth and drainage requirements. We factor in your property’s proximity to Nissequogue River and local water table levels when designing your system layout.
Since Suffolk County banned new cesspool installations in 2019, replacement installations must meet current septic standards. That means your new system includes a septic tank component and proper leaching field—not just the old-style cesspool that’s no longer permitted.
Cesspool installation costs in Kings Park typically range from $8,000 to $15,000, depending on your property’s specific conditions and system requirements. The permit alone costs $300-$500 through Suffolk County, and excavation complexity varies based on soil conditions and accessibility.
Factors that affect your final cost include the distance from your house to the installation area, whether we encounter rock or difficult soil, and if any existing systems need removal first. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your property, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Keep in mind that Suffolk County now requires septic tank components for all new installations, which affects both materials and labor costs compared to older cesspool-only systems.
Yes, cesspool installation in Kings Park requires permits from Suffolk County Health Department. Since July 2019, all cesspool replacements must meet current septic system standards and include proper registration with the health department.
The permit process involves submitting site plans, soil percolation tests, and system specifications that comply with current environmental regulations. Suffolk County has strict requirements about setbacks from wells, property lines, and water sources—especially important in Kings Park due to proximity to protected waterways.
We handle the entire permit process for you, including any required inspections during and after installation. This saves you weeks of back-and-forth with county offices and ensures everything meets current code requirements.
Most cesspool installations in Kings Park take 2-3 days once permits are approved and weather cooperates. The permit approval process typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on Suffolk County’s current workload and whether any additional documentation is needed.
Day one involves excavation and site preparation. Day two covers system installation, pipe connections, and initial backfilling. Day three includes final grading, cleanup, and any required inspections. Weather delays are possible, especially during wet seasons when soil conditions affect excavation.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine and coordinate with you on timing for any temporary water service interruptions. Most families can use their plumbing normally within 24 hours of completion.
Kings Park’s location near Nissequogue River creates unique installation considerations that don’t apply in other Suffolk County areas. Soil conditions can vary significantly even within the same neighborhood, and proximity to protected waterways means stricter environmental compliance requirements.
Local water table levels affect installation depth and system design. Properties closer to the water may require modified drainage approaches or additional environmental protections. We factor in these location-specific conditions when planning your installation.
Suffolk County also has enhanced oversight for installations near sensitive environmental areas. This means additional documentation and sometimes more detailed soil testing, but it ensures your new system protects both your property and the local ecosystem.
Yes, we specialize in replacement installations when existing cesspools fail Suffolk County inspections. Failed inspections usually indicate structural problems, inadequate capacity, or non-compliance with current environmental standards—all issues that require complete system replacement.
The replacement process involves properly abandoning your old cesspool, which means pumping it out, filling it with sand or gravel, and installing a completely new system that meets current code. This is often required for real estate transactions when mortgage lenders require passing cesspool inspections.
Since Suffolk County changed regulations in 2019, replacement installations must include septic tank components and proper leaching systems. While this increases upfront costs compared to old-style cesspools, it ensures long-term reliability and environmental compliance.
Yes, we provide emergency cesspool installation services when your existing system fails completely and creates health or safety hazards. Emergency installations require expedited permits through Suffolk County, which we can often obtain within 24-48 hours for genuine emergencies.
Emergency situations include sewage backing up into your home, surface contamination in your yard, or complete system collapse that makes your house uninhabitable. We maintain emergency equipment and can typically begin excavation within hours of your call.
While emergency installations cost more due to expedited permits and after-hours work, they prevent further property damage and restore your home’s habitability quickly. We work directly with Suffolk County inspectors to ensure emergency installations meet all safety and environmental requirements.
