Emergency Cesspool Service in Laupahoehoe, HI

Emergency Service in Laupahoehoe

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 Laupahoehoe

Laupahoehoe is the northern edge of our service area, a former sugar town on Highway 19 about 25 miles up the Hamakua coast from Hilo, where the land runs out to Laupahoehoe Point, the old train museum sits by the highway, and Papaaloa and Ookala are the neighbors up and down the road. It is quiet, rural and spread out: camp houses in the old town, farm and ranch parcels across the former cane land, and homes along the bluffs with a long view of the ocean. There is no sewer here. The old houses are on cesspools from the plantation era, the farm homes and newer builds are on cesspools or septic, and the conversions are slowly adding to the septic side. The soil on this stretch of coast is deep and real over old lava, which makes a leach field more workable than in Puna, but the gulches are steep, the rain is heavy in winter, and the roads to some lots are long. Laupahoehoe is far enough from Hilo that not every company will make the drive for a single pump-out. We do, and we schedule the coast so the trip is worth it for everyone. Tell us where you are on the highway and what the system is doing, and we will quote it straight and give you a real time.
