Emergency Cesspool Service in Keaau, HI

Emergency Service in Keaau

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 Keaau

Keaau is the gateway to Puna, the town at the junction where Highway 11 climbs toward Volcano and Highway 130 drops toward Pahoa, and the place every Puna homeowner passes on the way to Hilo. The old plantation town center around Old Volcano Road and Keaau Village has a mix of camp-era houses and newer homes, the Shipman industrial park sits on the Hilo side, and the big subdivisions start right at the edge of town: Hawaiian Paradise Park makai, Orchidland and Ainaloa mauka and south. Keaau itself is largely unsewered; the older houses are on cesspools and the newer builds and the conversions are on septic. The land is young lava with a thin skin of soil in places and bare pahoehoe in others, and the rain is heavy enough that a cesspool near the bottom of a lot can take on groundwater after a storm. Because it is the hub, Keaau also sees a steady flow of first-time Big Island buyers who have never owned a cesspool and want to understand what they are getting into. We pump, inspect, convert and repair systems in and around Keaau every week. Tell us the street and what the system is doing, and we will give you an honest answer and a price before the truck rolls.
