Emergency Cesspool Service in East Hawaii

Emergency Cesspool Service

A backed-up cesspool is not a next-week problem. It is sewage coming up in a shower or a floor drain, or surfacing in the yard, and it gets worse with every flush. On this side of the island it usually arrives with the weather: three days of rain saturate the rock around the pit, the pit stops taking water, and the house backs up all at once. We provide emergency cesspool and septic service across Hilo, Puna and the Hamakua coast. We come out, pump the pit or the tank down to relieve the backup and get your drains working, find out why it failed, whether the pit has simply filled, the rock has sealed, a line is blocked or a pump has died, and tell you straight what it takes to keep it from happening again. The first job is to stop the mess and get your household running. The second is an honest answer about whether this cesspool has a future or whether it is time to talk about conversion.

When it cannot wait

Sewage backing up into tubs, showers or floor drains; toilets that will not flush anywhere in the house; a sewage smell indoors; effluent surfacing or pooling over the pit or field; or a pump alarm sounding. Stop using water and call. Every load of laundry adds to a pit that has nowhere to put it, and on a catchment lot you do not want overflow anywhere near the tank or the gutters.

What we do first, and what comes after

On an emergency call we pump the cesspool or septic tank down so the house drains again and the overflow stops. With the immediate problem under control, we look at the cause: a cesspool that was overdue, rock that has sealed after a long wet spell, a crushed or clogged line, or a failed pump. Then you get the honest picture and a plan, whether that is a pumping schedule, a repair, or a conversation about converting a pit that has reached the end.
