Your cesspool handles everything your household sends its way. When it’s working properly, you forget it exists. When something goes wrong, it disrupts everything.
Regular cesspool pumping prevents the problems that turn your day upside down. No slow drains backing up during dinner prep. No foul odors when guests come over. No emergency calls ruining your weekend plans.
We keep your system functioning so your routine stays normal. Most Hicksville homeowners need pumping every 1-3 years, but we’ll assess your specific situation and give you a realistic maintenance schedule that actually works.
We’ve served Hicksville families for almost two decades, building on four generations of experience. We understand Long Island cesspools – the sandy soil, the environmental regulations, the systems that work and the ones that don’t.
Hicksville sits in Nassau County, where over 40,000 homes still rely on cesspool systems. We’ve worked throughout the area, from older homes near the LIRR station to post-war developments. Different neighborhoods, different challenges, same reliable service.
Our team knows which systems need frequent attention and which maintenance approaches work best for local conditions. Experience matters when you’re dealing with decades-old infrastructure.
We start by assessing your system’s condition and your household’s usage patterns. Our technicians inspect the cesspool, check access points, and identify any issues before pumping begins.
The pumping process removes all accumulated solids and liquids using professional-grade equipment. We pump all compartments completely – not just the easy-to-reach areas. This thorough approach extends time between services and prevents problems that partial cleanings leave behind.
After pumping, we inspect system components and check for damage or wear. If we find potential issues, we explain what we discovered and discuss your options. No pressure, just honest information so you can make informed decisions about your property.

Beyond routine pumping, we handle everything Hicksville homeowners need. Cesspool cleaning removes buildup that regular pumping can’t address. Inspections catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies. Repairs fix damaged components before they fail completely.
We’re experienced with older cesspool systems common throughout Hicksville. Many were installed decades ago when standards were different. We help you understand your system’s condition and whether upgrades might be beneficial for your situation.
Nassau County offers grants up to $20,000 for homeowners upgrading to advanced treatment systems. These newer systems reduce nitrogen pollution and often qualify for significant financial assistance. We can explain the process and help you understand what’s involved.
Most Hicksville homeowners need cesspool pumping every 1-3 years, depending on household size, cesspool capacity, and system age. A family of four typically needs service more frequently than a couple. Your system’s size and condition also affect timing.
Start with an inspection if you’re unsure about your current schedule. We’ll assess sludge and scum levels, check overall system health, and give you a realistic timeline based on your actual usage patterns rather than generic recommendations.
Watch for signs you might need service sooner: slow drains, gurgling sounds, or odors around your property. Don’t wait for backups – preventive maintenance is always cheaper and less disruptive than emergency repairs.
Slow drainage throughout your home and sewage odors outdoors are the most common early warnings. When multiple fixtures drain slowly simultaneously, your cesspool is likely reaching capacity and needs attention soon.
Pooling water in your yard, especially over or near your cesspool area, indicates the system isn’t processing waste properly. This could mean the cesspool is full or there’s a structural problem requiring professional assessment.
Gurgling sounds from drains, toilets that won’t flush properly, or any sewage backup in your home need immediate attention. These problems typically worsen quickly, so early action prevents more extensive damage and higher costs.
Existing cesspools remain legal in Hicksville and Nassau County but must be properly maintained and meet current health department standards. However, regulations have tightened due to environmental concerns about nitrogen pollution affecting Long Island’s water supply.
When cesspools fail or need replacement, you may be required to upgrade to advanced treatment systems rather than installing new traditional cesspools. Requirements depend on your property’s location, soil conditions, and proximity to water sources.
Nassau County currently offers substantial grants to help homeowners upgrade to nitrogen-reducing systems. These grants cover up to $20,000 of installation costs, making upgrades more affordable than ever before.
Cesspool pumping in Hicksville typically costs $300-600 for standard residential service, depending on system size, accessibility, and current condition. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees – you know the cost before we start.
Emergency calls may cost more due to after-hours response, but we maintain fair pricing even during stressful situations. Too many Hicksville homeowners get overcharged during emergencies, and we don’t operate that way.
Regular maintenance costs little compared to emergency repairs or system replacement. Full cesspool replacement can cost $15,000-25,000, while regular pumping every few years keeps your system running smoothly for a fraction of that expense.
We provide 24/7 emergency cesspool service throughout Hicksville and typically arrive within 30 minutes. Cesspool emergencies happen at the worst times – weekends, holidays, middle of the night when you need help most.
Our emergency response includes the same thorough service you’d receive during regular hours. We don’t cut corners because it’s an emergency call. We assess the situation, resolve the immediate problem, and help you understand what caused the issue.
Emergency service trucks stay stocked with equipment and supplies for most common cesspool problems. This means we can often complete repairs immediately rather than scheduling return visits that leave your system partially functional.
We provide comprehensive cesspool inspections required for real estate transactions in Hicksville and Nassau County. Mortgage lenders typically require these inspections for properties with on-site waste management systems before approving loans.
Our inspection covers all system components: cesspool structure, inlet and outlet connections, distribution boxes, and overall functionality. We provide detailed reports meeting lender requirements and helping buyers understand exactly what they’re purchasing.
When inspections reveal issues needing correction before closing, we handle necessary repairs or pumping to bring systems into compliance. We understand real estate timelines are often tight, so we prioritize these inspections to keep transactions moving smoothly.
