Emergency Cesspool Service in Pahoa, HI

Emergency Service in Pahoa

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 Pahoa

Pahoa is the main street of lower Puna, an old plantation town of raised wooden storefronts where Highway 130 ends and the roads to Kalapana, Pohoiki and Kapoho begin. Everything around it is unsewered. Nanawale Estates and Leilani Estates to the east, Kalapana Seaview Estates toward the coast, the farm lots along Highway 132 and the homes scattered up the old lava flows all run on a cesspool or a septic system, and most of them catch their own rainwater. Lower Puna is also where the 2018 eruption rewrote the map: Leilani Estates lost whole streets, Kapoho and its tide pools are gone, and the rebuilding that followed went in on new septic systems because new construction cannot use a cesspool. That leaves Pahoa with the full spread of what we do, from pumping a forty-year-old pit behind a plantation house to installing a permitted system on a fresh lot, with home-sale inspections in between as the area turns over. The ground here is some of the youngest on the island, a mix of a‘a that drains like a sieve and pahoehoe that will not take a shovel, which shapes every conversion. We work Pahoa and the subdivisions around it every week. Tell us the subdivision and the road and we will give you a straight answer and a real price.
