Emergency Cesspool Service in Honomu, HI

Emergency Service in Honomu

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 Honomu

Honomu is the little plantation town at the turnoff to Akaka Falls, a single main street of raised wooden storefronts just off Highway 19 about ten miles north of Hilo, with camp houses behind it, Hakalau and its bay a few minutes north, and the road to the falls climbing mauka through old cane land and gulches. The town is unsewered and so is everything around it. The old houses on the main street and the camp lots are on cesspools from the sugar days; the farm parcels and newer homes up the Akaka Falls road and toward Hakalau are a mix of cesspools and septic, and the conversions are adding to the septic side every year. The ground is Hamakua ground, real soil over old lava, cut by deep gulches that carry serious water in a storm, and the rain here is heavy and steady through the winter. Honomu is small enough that the pump truck is a familiar sight, and the mix of long-time families, visitors passing through to the falls, and newcomers restoring a plantation house keeps us busy with pump-outs, inspections for the houses that change hands, and conversions planned ahead of the state deadline. We work Honomu, Hakalau and the Akaka Falls road regularly. Tell us where you are and what the system is doing, and we will quote it straight.
