We’ve been fixing cesspool problems in Smithtown and throughout Suffolk County since 1998. We’re not the guys who show up, pump your tank, and leave. We’re the team that actually diagnoses what’s wrong and fixes it properly.
As a family-owned business, we understand what it means to protect your biggest investment—your home. We’ve seen every type of cesspool problem Long Island’s unique soil conditions can create, from collapsed pipes to structural damage.
Our commitment to Smithtown goes beyond business. We support local veterans through organizations like Paws of War and offer discounts to military families, first responders, and seniors who’ve served our community.
First, we inspect your entire cesspool system—not just the obvious problem. We check baffle conditions, measure liquid levels, examine pipe integrity, and test the distribution system. This thorough approach catches problems before they become expensive emergencies.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix it. No surprises, no upselling, no pressure tactics. Just honest assessment of what needs repair and why.
Then we get to work using professional-grade equipment designed for Long Island’s specific soil conditions. Whether it’s structural repairs, pipe replacement, or baffle restoration, we fix it right the first time. Your yard gets restored to its original condition, and you get a system that works reliably for years.

Our cesspool repair services cover everything from minor pipe fixes to major structural restoration. We handle collapsed cesspool walls, damaged baffles, broken inlet and outlet pipes, and compromised distribution systems.
Smithtown’s clay soil conditions create unique challenges that generic cesspool companies don’t understand. Clay doesn’t absorb liquids quickly, so when your cesspool fails, contamination spreads faster than in other areas. We know how to work with these conditions to prevent recurring problems.
We also understand Suffolk County’s evolving regulations. While new cesspool installations are banned, existing systems can be repaired and maintained. We ensure all repairs meet current health department standards while extending your system’s lifespan as long as safely possible.
Basic cesspool repairs in Smithtown typically cost $400-800, depending on what needs fixing and how extensive the damage is. Simple pipe repairs or baffle replacements fall on the lower end, while structural repairs or multiple component failures cost more.
Emergency repairs during weekends or holidays may include additional fees, but catching problems early through regular maintenance keeps costs predictable. Complete system failures requiring excavation can cost $3,000-8,000, which is why we focus on fixing problems before they reach that point.
We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying without hidden fees or surprise charges.
The most obvious signs include slow-draining sinks, toilets, and showers, which indicate blockages restricting normal flow. You might notice gurgling sounds from drains, sewage odors around your property, or wet spots near where your cesspool is located.
More serious warning signs include standing water in your yard, sewage backing up into your basement, or unusually green grass over your cesspool area. These symptoms indicate your system is already failing and needs immediate professional attention.
Don’t wait for complete system failure. The longer you delay repairs, the more expensive the fix becomes and the greater the risk to your family’s health and your property value.
Most cesspool repairs take 2-6 hours depending on what needs fixing and how accessible your system is. Simple repairs like replacing a damaged baffle or fixing a pipe connection can often be completed in a few hours.
More complex repairs involving structural damage or multiple system components may take a full day or require multiple visits. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Emergency repairs get priority scheduling. When your cesspool is backing up into your home, we understand you need immediate action to protect your family and property.
Many cesspool problems can be repaired effectively, extending your system’s life by years or even decades. We can fix collapsed walls, replace damaged pipes, restore baffles, and repair distribution systems without full replacement.
The key is catching problems early before they cascade into system-wide failures. Regular inspections help identify issues while they’re still repairable rather than waiting until replacement becomes the only option.
However, some situations do require replacement—particularly when structural integrity is completely compromised or when repairs would cost more than a new system. We’ll always be honest about whether repair makes financial sense for your specific situation.
Yes, existing cesspools can be repaired and maintained under current Suffolk County regulations. While new cesspool installations are banned, homeowners can continue repairing their existing systems to keep them functioning safely.
All repairs must meet current health department standards, which we ensure through proper permitting and inspection processes. We stay current on evolving regulations so your repairs comply with local requirements.
Eventually, you may need to upgrade to a nitrogen-reducing system, but proper repairs can extend your current system’s life while you plan for that transition. Suffolk County offers grants up to $30,000 to help with eventual upgrades.
