Emergency Cesspool Service in Volcano, HI

Emergency Service in Volcano

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 Volcano

Volcano is the village at the top of Highway 11, just under 4,000 feet at the gate of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, where the rainforest is thick with ohia and hapuu and the nights are cold enough for a fireplace. It is a village of artists, park staff and retirees, and it is one of the island’s vacation-rental capitals: the cottages and B&Bs along Old Volcano Road and in Volcano Golf Course, Mauna Loa Estates and Royal Hawaiian Estates fill up with park visitors week after week. There is no sewer. Every home and rental is on catchment and on a cesspool or a septic system, in rock that is young and in places layered with volcanic ash and cinder, under rain that falls most days of the year. Vacation rentals load a system in bursts a family never would, a two-bedroom cottage sleeping six on a holiday weekend and sitting empty the week after, and that pattern is the number one reason a Volcano cesspool backs up with guests in the house. Elevation adds its own twist: the ground is cold and wet, and a system that sits unused in a part-time home can surprise an owner who arrives for the season. We pump, inspect, convert and repair systems throughout Volcano and the subdivisions around it. Tell us the subdivision and what the system is doing and we will quote it straight.
