Your drains flow freely. Your yard stays dry and odor-free. You sleep well knowing your system won’t fail at 2 AM on a Sunday.
Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become thousand-dollar headaches. You avoid the stress of emergency calls, the mess of backups, and the embarrassment of odors that neighbors notice.
Most importantly, you protect your family’s health and your property’s value. A well-maintained cesspool system runs quietly in the background, doing its job without drama or disruption to your daily life.
We’ve served Amityville families since 1998. We’re not some big corporate operation—we’re your neighbors who understand Suffolk County’s unique soil conditions and regulations.
Our family-owned approach means you get straight answers, fair prices, and service that actually solves problems. We’ve built our reputation on over 325 five-star reviews by doing the work right the first time.
Amityville’s proximity to the Great South Bay means your cesspool affects more than just your property. We take that responsibility seriously, helping homeowners maintain systems that protect both their families and our shared environment.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire system. Our technicians check pumping levels, examine components, and identify any developing issues before they cause problems.
Next, we create a customized maintenance schedule based on your system’s age, usage, and condition. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—your home gets a plan that matches its specific needs.
Regular service visits keep everything running smoothly. We pump when needed, inspect critical components, and provide detailed reports so you always know your system’s status. You get reminders before each service, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Your maintenance program includes scheduled pumping, system inspections, and priority emergency service. We track your system’s history and provide detailed reports after each visit.
Suffolk County requires cesspool inspections every three years, and we handle all the documentation. Our program ensures you stay compliant with local regulations while avoiding costly violations.
Amityville’s high water table and seasonal weather changes put extra stress on cesspool systems. Our maintenance programs account for these local factors, adjusting service schedules during heavy rain periods and ensuring proper system function year-round.
Most Amityville cesspools need pumping every 2-3 years, but the exact timing depends on household size and usage patterns. A family of four typically needs service every 2-3 years, while smaller households might go longer.
Suffolk County’s regulations require inspections every three years regardless of pumping schedules. Our maintenance programs ensure you meet these requirements while catching potential issues early.
We track your system’s performance and adjust the schedule as needed. Heavy usage periods or seasonal changes might require more frequent attention, and we’ll let you know when adjustments make sense.
Skipping maintenance leads to expensive problems fast. Solids build up and cause backups, overflows, and system failures that cost thousands to repair.
You risk contaminating groundwater and violating Suffolk County environmental regulations. The fines alone can exceed what you’d spend on years of proper maintenance.
Emergency repairs always cost more than preventive care. A backed-up system on a weekend or holiday means premium rates and limited availability when you need help most.
Absolutely. Regular maintenance typically costs $300-500 per year, while emergency repairs often run $1,500-3,000 or more. The math is simple—prevention costs less than crisis management.
Maintenance programs also extend your system’s lifespan significantly. A well-maintained cesspool can last 20-30 years, while neglected systems often fail within 10-15 years.
You also avoid the indirect costs of system failures—property damage, health risks, and the stress of dealing with sewage emergencies. Regular maintenance keeps these problems from happening in the first place.
Yes, Suffolk County has specific regulations that affect maintenance schedules. Systems must be inspected every three years, and detailed reports must be submitted to the county.
New regulations also mean that when cesspools eventually need replacement, they must be upgraded to septic systems that meet current standards. Regular maintenance helps delay this expensive upgrade.
Our maintenance programs ensure full compliance with all Suffolk County requirements. We handle the paperwork and keep detailed records so you never have to worry about regulatory issues.
Pumping just removes accumulated solids from your tank. Full maintenance includes pumping plus comprehensive system inspection, component testing, and preventive care.
During full maintenance, we check inlet and outlet baffles, examine the distribution box, test soil absorption rates, and identify developing problems. This catches issues that pumping alone would miss.
Maintenance service also includes detailed reporting and scheduling for future visits. You get a complete picture of your system’s health, not just waste removal.
Proper maintenance significantly extends system life and delays expensive replacements. Well-maintained cesspools can operate effectively for decades when cared for properly.
However, Suffolk County regulations now require that failed cesspools be replaced with upgraded septic systems. Maintenance helps ensure your current system meets its full lifespan before this upgrade becomes necessary.
When replacement eventually becomes required, a well-maintained system’s documentation helps with permit applications and may qualify you for available grant programs that offset upgrade costs.
