Emergency Cesspool Service in Hawaiian Beaches, HI

Emergency Service in Hawaiian Beaches

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.

Cesspool and septic service in Hawaiian Beaches

Hawaiian Beaches sits on the Puna coast north of Pahoa, a subdivision of modest lots along Kahakai Boulevard on streets named for fish, with Hawaiian Shores next door and the ocean a short walk makai. It is low, close to sea level, and warm, with trade-wind rain instead of the upland deluges, and it is one of the more affordable neighborhoods in Puna, which means a steady flow of first-time buyers and a lot of long-held family homes. Nearly every house is on catchment, and nearly every house is on a cesspool or a septic system. The lots are smaller than the acre and three-acre subdivisions inland, so the house, the catchment tank, the cesspool and the neighbor’s cesspool all sit close together, and the coastal rock holds groundwater near the surface. That combination makes Hawaiian Beaches the place where a cesspool is most likely to fill from below, and where a conversion has to be designed carefully to fit the setbacks on a small lot, often with an aerobic treatment unit instead of a full leach field. We pump, inspect, convert and repair systems in Hawaiian Beaches and Hawaiian Shores regularly. Tell us the street and what the system is doing and we will quote it straight.
