Emergency Cesspool Service in Kurtistown, HI

Emergency Service in Kurtistown

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 Kurtistown

Kurtistown is the old plantation village along Highway 11 between Keaau and Mountain View, a short strip of homes, churches and a post office with Hawaiian Acres opening up behind it on the mauka side and Orchidland on the Keaau side. The village itself is a mix of plantation-era houses on small lots and newer homes on the agricultural parcels around it, and like all of upper Puna it is unsewered and on catchment. The old houses are on cesspools that have been in the rock for generations; the newer builds and the conversions are on septic. Kurtistown is also the funnel for the two big subdivisions behind it, so the roads see a lot of traffic and the homeowners here are used to being the address where the pump truck turns off the highway. The ground is young lava under a thin, wet skin of soil, and the rainfall climbs as you head up the highway, so a pit in Kurtistown drains better than one deep in Hawaiian Acres but still stays damp most of the year. We pump, inspect, convert and repair systems in Kurtistown and the lots around it. Tell us where you are on the highway and what the system is doing, and we will come ready and quote it straight.
