Regular maintenance costs a fraction of what you’ll spend on emergency repairs. When your system is on a maintenance schedule, small issues get caught before they become expensive disasters.
You avoid the stress of sewage backups in your home. No more standing water in your yard or foul odors that embarrass you in front of neighbors. Your system works reliably because it gets the attention it needs before problems develop.
Your property value stays protected. A well-maintained cesspool system is an asset, not a liability when it comes time to sell your Old Field home.
We’ve been keeping Old Field systems running since 1998. We’re not some big corporate outfit that treats your property like a number.
As a family-owned Suffolk County business, we understand the unique challenges of maintaining cesspools in this area. The soil conditions, local regulations, and seasonal factors that affect your system – we know them all because we live and work here too.
Our maintenance programs aren’t cookie-cutter solutions. We design each plan based on your system’s age, size, usage patterns, and the specific conditions at your Old Field property.
We start with a thorough assessment of your current system. Our technicians inspect your cesspool, check sludge levels, and identify any existing issues that need immediate attention.
Based on what we find, we create a customized maintenance schedule. Some systems need attention every year, others can go longer. We don’t oversell you on services you don’t need.
Once you’re on our program, we handle everything. We keep track of when your system needs service, contact you to schedule appointments, and maintain detailed records of all work performed. You get reminders before service is due, so there are no surprises.

Your maintenance program includes regular pumping based on your system’s needs, not some arbitrary schedule. We monitor sludge levels and pump when necessary to prevent system overload.
Professional inspections catch problems early. We check for leaks, assess drain field conditions, and identify potential issues before they cause expensive damage to your Old Field property.
Old Field residents face unique challenges with the area’s soil conditions and proximity to water sources. Our maintenance programs account for these local factors, ensuring your system meets all Suffolk County regulations while protecting the environment.
Most residential cesspools in Old Field need maintenance every 1-3 years, but the exact timing depends on your household size, water usage, and system capacity. A family of four typically needs pumping every 2-3 years, while smaller households might go longer.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all schedules. During your initial assessment, we’ll determine the right maintenance frequency for your specific situation. Factors like garbage disposal usage, laundry habits, and the age of your system all influence how often service is needed.
Our maintenance programs include regular monitoring, so we adjust your schedule based on actual conditions rather than guesswork.
Our maintenance programs go far beyond basic pumping. Each service includes a comprehensive inspection of your entire system, checking for leaks, assessing the condition of your drain field, and monitoring sludge and scum levels.
We also provide water jetting services to clean debris from your tank and pipes, preventing clogs that could cause backups. Bacteria treatments help maintain proper waste breakdown, extending the time between pumpings.
You receive detailed reports after each service, documenting the condition of your system and any recommendations for improvements. We keep comprehensive records, so you have documentation for insurance purposes or when selling your Old Field home.
While we can’t prevent every possible issue, regular maintenance eliminates the vast majority of problems that cause expensive emergency calls. Most cesspool failures happen gradually, and our inspections catch these developing issues early.
Preventive maintenance stops minor problems from becoming major disasters. A small leak caught during routine service might cost $200 to fix, but the same leak ignored could lead to thousands in damage and system replacement.
We’ve seen maintenance program customers avoid 90% of the emergency situations that hit homeowners who skip regular service. The few issues that do arise are typically much less expensive to resolve because they’re caught early.
Emergency cesspool repairs in Suffolk County typically cost $2,000-$8,000, while complete system replacement can exceed $15,000. Regular maintenance costs a fraction of these emergency expenses.
Our maintenance program customers spend about 60% less on cesspool-related expenses over the life of their system compared to homeowners who only call when problems occur. The savings come from preventing major repairs and extending your system’s lifespan.
Beyond direct cost savings, you avoid the indirect expenses of emergency situations – lost work time, temporary housing if your home becomes uninhabitable, and the premium pricing that comes with urgent repairs.
Old Field’s proximity to water sources means stricter environmental regulations that affect cesspool maintenance. Our programs ensure your system stays compliant with all Suffolk County and state requirements.
The area’s soil conditions and seasonal water table fluctuations can impact how your cesspool functions. We adjust maintenance schedules to account for these local factors, providing more frequent service during high-risk periods.
Many Old Field properties have older systems that require specialized attention. Our maintenance programs include assessments for upgrade opportunities, and we can help you take advantage of Suffolk County grant programs that provide up to $10,000 for system improvements.
Maintenance program customers receive priority emergency service if unexpected issues arise. We know your system’s history and can diagnose problems quickly, often resolving them faster than if we were starting from scratch.
Most importantly, our detailed maintenance records help identify what caused the failure and whether it’s covered under any warranties. This documentation can be crucial for insurance claims or determining if the issue resulted from normal wear versus a specific incident.
Emergency calls are rare for our maintenance customers, but when they do happen, the response is faster and the resolution is typically less expensive because we already understand your system’s configuration and history.
