Hear From Our Clients
No more sewage backups flooding your basement at 2 AM. No more wondering if your system will fail during your next family gathering. No more dealing with slow drains that make every shower feel like forever.
When your cesspool installation is done right, your home works the way it should. Water flows where it needs to go. Your family stays safe from health hazards. You sleep better knowing your system can handle whatever you throw at it.
That’s what proper installation gets you – peace of mind that lasts for decades, not just until the next heavy rain. Your neighbors will wonder why their systems keep failing while yours just works, year after year.
We’ve been installing cesspools in Northport since 1998, back when most contractors were still figuring out Suffolk County’s soil conditions. Twenty-five years later, we know exactly what works in your neighborhood and what doesn’t.
We’re not the biggest company in the phone book, and we’re not trying to be. We’re the family-owned team your neighbors actually recommend when their systems work perfectly year after year. The team that shows up when we say we will.
Over 325 five-star reviews don’t happen by accident. They happen because we handle permits correctly, install systems that last, and clean up after ourselves. No drama, no excuses, just reliable work that protects your home and your family for decades.
First, we handle all the permit paperwork with Suffolk County – you don’t need to figure out the new regulations or wait in line at government offices. We know exactly what forms they want and how to get approvals fast, usually within 2-3 weeks.
Next, we excavate your site using the right equipment for Northport’s soil conditions. No guesswork, no shortcuts that cause problems later. We’ve done this thousands of times in your area, so we know what to expect before we even break ground. Clay soil, sandy soil, high water table – we’ve seen it all.
Then we install your new system according to current Suffolk County standards – which means a septic tank before the leaching structure, not the old cesspool-only setup that’s been banned since 2019. Everything gets inspected and approved before we backfill and restore your property.
You get a system that actually meets today’s environmental requirements and won’t need major repairs in five years because we cut corners during installation.

Every installation includes permit processing, excavation, system installation, inspection coordination, and complete site restoration. No hidden fees for “extras” that should have been included from the start. No surprise charges when we hit clay soil or need to go deeper than expected.
In Northport, most residential cesspool installations run between $8,000 and $18,000, depending on your home’s size and soil conditions. That includes the septic tank that’s now required by Suffolk County law – not the cheaper cesspool-only systems some contractors still quote to win jobs they can’t legally complete.
We also handle the Suffolk County registration requirements that went into effect in 2019. Many homeowners don’t realize their contractor is supposed to register the new system with the Department of Health Services. We take care of all that paperwork so you stay compliant and avoid potential fines down the road.
If you qualify for Suffolk County’s grant program, we’ll help you navigate that process too. Some homeowners can get up to $30,000 toward nitrogen-reducing systems that protect Long Island’s water supply while saving money long-term through better efficiency.
Yes, Suffolk County requires permits for all new cesspool installations, and the rules changed significantly in 2019. You can’t just replace a cesspool with another cesspool anymore – the new system must include a septic tank before the leaching structure.
We handle all the permit applications and inspections for you. Most homeowners find the paperwork confusing, especially with the new environmental regulations. We know exactly what Suffolk County wants to see and how to get approvals without delays that cost you time and money.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks once we submit everything correctly. We don’t start any work until we have proper approvals, which protects you from fines or having to redo work that doesn’t meet current standards. Too many contractors skip this step and leave homeowners holding the bag.
Most residential cesspool installations in Northport cost between $8,000 and $18,000, including permits, excavation, installation, and complete site restoration. The exact price depends on your home’s size, soil conditions, and how deep we need to dig to meet code requirements.
Systems for smaller homes typically cost less, while larger homes or properties with challenging soil conditions cost more. We always provide written estimates before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No verbal quotes that change once we start digging.
Keep in mind that cheaper quotes often exclude important items like permits, septic tanks (now required by law), or proper site restoration. We include everything needed for a complete, code-compliant installation in our pricing. The last thing you want is surprise charges when your project is half finished.
Most installations take 2-3 days once we have permits and materials on site. Day one is excavation and site preparation. Day two is installing the tank, pipes, and leaching structure. Day three is backfilling, final grading, and cleanup that leaves your property looking better than we found it.
Weather can affect the timeline – we won’t work in conditions that could compromise the installation quality. Heavy rain or frozen ground means waiting for better conditions. We’d rather delay a few days than install a system that fails in two years.
The permit process adds 2-3 weeks before installation begins, but that time is mostly waiting for Suffolk County approvals. We handle all the paperwork while you go about your normal routine. We’ll call you when we’re ready to schedule installation.
Since July 2019, you can’t replace a failing cesspool with just another cesspool. Every new installation must include a septic tank before the leaching structure, which provides better wastewater treatment and reduces nitrogen pollution that’s been damaging Long Island’s water supply.
The county also requires registration of all new systems with the Department of Health Services. Many contractors don’t know about this requirement or forget to handle the paperwork, which can cause compliance problems later when you try to sell your home.
These changes were made to protect Long Island’s water supply from nitrogen pollution that’s been killing fish and closing beaches. The new systems cost a bit more upfront but provide much better environmental protection and typically last longer than the old cesspool-only setups that failed every few years.
Yes, we help qualified homeowners navigate Suffolk County’s septic improvement program, which provides grants up to $30,000 for nitrogen-reducing systems. Not every installation qualifies, but we can determine if your project is eligible and worth pursuing.
The grant program prioritizes environmentally sensitive areas and has specific requirements about system types and contractor qualifications. We’re familiar with the application process and can help you understand what’s involved without wasting your time on applications that won’t get approved.
Even if you don’t qualify for grants, the new nitrogen-reducing systems often provide long-term savings through better efficiency and longer system life. We can explain the options and help you choose what makes sense for your situation and budget, not what makes us the most money.
We’ve been installing cesspools in Suffolk County since 1998, so we understand local soil conditions, regulations, and what actually works long-term in your area. Over 325 five-star reviews from local customers prove we consistently deliver quality work without the drama other contractors bring.
We handle all permits, inspections, and regulatory compliance so you don’t have to figure out Suffolk County’s complex requirements. Many contractors skip important steps or don’t understand the new regulations that went into effect in 2019, leaving you with systems that fail inspection or don’t meet code.
Most importantly, we provide honest pricing with no surprise charges. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start work, and we clean up thoroughly when we’re done. We’re your neighbors, and we want you to recommend us to your neighbors too – not warn them away.
