Hear From Our Clients
You wake up knowing your system works. Your toilets flush without worry. Your drains flow like they should.
No more wondering if today’s the day everything backs up. No more scrambling to find someone at 2 AM when your cesspool overflows. No more explaining to your family why they can’t use the bathroom.
Instead, you get predictable service on your schedule. You get problems caught early when they’re cheap to fix. You get the peace of mind that comes from working with people who actually know what they’re doing.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families since 1998. Three generations of local experience means we understand Long Island soil conditions and regulations better than out-of-town companies.
Over 325 five-star reviews don’t happen by accident. They happen because we show up when we say we will, fix what needs fixing, and don’t try to sell you things you don’t need.
Licensed by Suffolk County Consumer Affairs and fully insured, we protect both your property and our local reputation with every job.
First, we schedule your service based on your system’s needs and your household size. Most homes need service every 1-3 years, but we’ll tell you exactly what your system requires.
When it’s time, we show up with professional equipment and pump your system completely. While we’re there, we inspect everything – checking for potential problems before they become expensive emergencies.
You get a clear report on your system’s condition and when your next service is due. We keep track of everything so you don’t have to remember. No surprises, no emergency calls, no stress.

Complete system pumping removes all sludge and debris that builds up over time. Professional inspection catches small problems before they become major repairs. Clear documentation keeps you compliant with Suffolk County regulations.
Greenport’s coastal location and sandy soil conditions require specific maintenance approaches. The salt air and water table fluctuations can affect system performance differently than inland areas. We understand these local factors and adjust our service accordingly.
Your maintenance program includes priority scheduling for any issues between regular services. Military, first responder, and senior discounts reflect our commitment to the community we’ve served for over 25 years.
Most residential systems need service every 2-3 years, but this depends on your household size and water usage. A family of four typically needs pumping every 2-3 years, while smaller households might go 3-5 years.
Greenport’s coastal environment can affect timing too. High water tables during wet seasons and salt air exposure can impact system performance. We evaluate your specific situation and create a maintenance schedule that prevents problems without over-servicing your system.
Systems with garbage disposals or heavy water usage need more frequent attention. We’ll inspect your system during the first service and recommend the right interval for your home.
Skipped maintenance leads to sludge buildup that clogs your entire system. When solids overflow into the leaching area, you’re looking at expensive repairs or complete system replacement.
Emergency calls cost significantly more than scheduled maintenance. You’ll also face potential health department violations since Suffolk County now requires documentation of regular service. Raw sewage backing up into your home creates health hazards and property damage that insurance may not cover.
The bacterial balance in your system gets disrupted without regular pumping. Once that happens, even after pumping, your system may not function properly until the bacterial ecosystem recovers.
Absolutely. Emergency service calls cost 2-3 times more than scheduled maintenance. When your system backs up on a weekend or holiday, you’re paying premium rates for urgent service.
Preventive maintenance catches problems early when they’re cheap to fix. A $300 maintenance visit can prevent a $3,000 system replacement. Regular service also extends your system’s lifespan by preventing damage from neglect.
Suffolk County’s new regulations require documentation of regular service. Staying compliant through a maintenance program protects you from potential fines and ensures you qualify for any available upgrade incentives.
Yes. Suffolk County banned new cesspool installations in 2019 and requires registration of replacement systems with the Department of Health Services. All service providers must report pumping activities to maintain compliance.
When systems are replaced, they must meet current standards that include septic tanks rather than direct discharge to cesspools. This makes regular maintenance of existing systems even more important to avoid forced upgrades.
Property owners may face fines for non-compliance with maintenance requirements. We handle all documentation and reporting to keep you compliant with county regulations without additional hassle.
Choose a company that’s licensed by Suffolk County Consumer Affairs and fully insured. Local experience matters because Long Island’s soil conditions and regulations are unique compared to other areas.
Look for transparent pricing without hidden fees. The company should explain what’s included in each service and provide clear documentation of work performed. Emergency availability is important because problems don’t follow business hours.
Reviews from local customers tell you more than advertising claims. A company with 25+ years serving the same area and hundreds of five-star reviews has proven their reliability through actual performance.
Yes. We create maintenance schedules based on your household size, water usage, and system type. We don’t use one-size-fits-all approaches because every system has different requirements.
Seasonal residents may need different scheduling than year-round homeowners. Commercial properties require more frequent service than residential systems. We adjust timing and service levels to match your actual usage patterns.
Military, first responder, and senior discounts are available for qualifying customers. We also offer priority scheduling if you need service between regular maintenance visits without breaking your budget.
