Licensed by New York State and fully insured, we offer military, first responder, and senior discounts as appreciation for community service.

When we dispose of waste, it goes to licensed facilities—the way it’s supposed to be done. You’re dealing with a local family business, not a national chain, and we’ll be here when you need us again.
Our process starts by locating and accessing your cesspool—sometimes that means digging if the access port is buried under years of landscaping or debris. We use specialized equipment to pump out accumulated waste and liquids, then perform a thorough cleaning of the tank.
During service, we complete a system inspection to identify any potential problems before they become emergencies. All waste gets transported to licensed disposal facilities in compliance with Suffolk County regulations. After pumping, we properly secure the access point and clean up the work area.
You receive documentation of the service performed and recommendations for your next maintenance schedule based on your household size and water usage patterns. Most residential cesspools in Lindenhurst need pumping every 2-3 years, but the exact timing depends on your specific situation.

In Lindenhurst specifically, the combination of sandy soil and proximity to the water table creates unique challenges.

Heavy water use from things like frequent laundry loads or long showers fills your cesspool faster than normal usage.

Call immediately if you have sewage backing up into your home, toilets that won’t flush, or standing water around your cesspool area. Strong sewage odors in your yard or home also signal urgent problems that need professional attention right away.

We provide written estimates before starting any work so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Regular maintenance prevents most major repairs and keeps costs predictable.
A cesspool is basically a large pit that collects wastewater and allows it to seep into the surrounding soil. A septic system has multiple components—a tank for initial treatment and a leach field for final filtration, making it more complex but more effective at treating waste.
Many Long Island homes still have cesspools because they were common before septic systems became standard. Both need regular maintenance, but cesspools typically require more frequent pumping than septic systems. Understanding which type you have helps determine the right maintenance schedule and service approach for your property.
