When your cesspool installation is done correctly the first time, you get decades of reliable wastewater management without the headaches. No surprise failures six months later. No emergency calls because something wasn’t installed to code.
You get a system that handles your household’s daily demands without backing up into your home or creating wet spots in your yard. The permits are handled properly, the excavation meets Suffolk County requirements, and the installation passes inspection.
That’s what happens when you work with contractors who actually know what they’re doing in Port Jefferson Station’s unique soil conditions.
We’re the family-owned cesspool company that Port Jefferson Station residents call when they need installation done right. Twenty-five years serving Suffolk County families means we understand exactly what works in our sandy Long Island soil.
We’re not the biggest company with the flashiest ads. We’re the ones your neighbors recommend because we show up when we say we will, charge what we quote, and install systems that actually work for decades.
Licensed, insured, and local. We offer military, first responder, and senior discounts because we appreciate what you do for our community.
First, we handle all the permit paperwork with Suffolk County so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy. We know exactly what documentation they need and how to get approvals quickly.
Next comes excavation. We bring in the right equipment to dig your cesspool location according to approved plans, maintaining proper distances from wells, property lines, and your foundation. The excavation has to be precise – too shallow and you’ll have problems, too deep and you’re wasting money.
Then we install your new cesspool system with all connecting pipes and components. Everything gets positioned correctly, backfilled properly, and tested to make sure it’s working before we leave. We schedule the required county inspection and make sure everything passes the first time.

Your cesspool installation includes complete excavation, system installation, all necessary piping connections, and proper backfilling. We handle the Suffolk County permit applications and schedule required inspections.
Port Jefferson Station’s soil conditions require specific installation techniques that we’ve perfected over 25 years. The sandy soil drains well but needs proper compaction around the cesspool to prevent settling issues down the road.
We also help you understand available grants and financing options. Suffolk County offers up to $20,000 in grants for qualifying installations, and we know exactly how to navigate those applications. Many Port Jefferson Station homeowners are surprised to learn they can get significant financial assistance for their new cesspool system.
Yes, Suffolk County requires permits for all new cesspool installations. The permit process involves submitting detailed plans, soil testing results, and proof of proper setbacks from wells and property lines.
We handle the entire permit application process for you. This includes preparing all required documentation, coordinating with county inspectors, and ensuring your installation meets current Suffolk County sanitary code requirements. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, and we don’t start excavation until we have proper approvals.

Suffolk County banned new cesspool installations in 2019, so all new installations must include a septic tank system with advanced nitrogen-reducing technology. Traditional cesspools just collected waste without treatment, while modern septic systems separate solids and treat wastewater before it enters the ground.
Your new system will include a septic tank that breaks down waste, followed by a leaching system that filters wastewater through soil. This protects groundwater quality and meets current environmental regulations in Port Jefferson Station.
The installation process is more complex than old-style cesspools, but the result is a system that lasts longer, performs better, and protects our local water supply.
Most cesspool installations in Port Jefferson Station take 2-3 days once permits are approved and weather conditions are suitable. Day one involves excavation and site preparation. Day two covers system installation and connecting all piping. Day three includes backfilling, final grading, and cleanup.
Weather can affect the timeline, especially during Long Island’s wet seasons when excavation becomes difficult. We always wait for proper conditions rather than rushing installation in poor weather, which can compromise the system’s long-term performance.
We schedule county inspections as soon as installation is complete, and most systems pass inspection immediately when installed correctly. You can typically use your new system within 24 hours of final approval.
