Septic System Installation & Repair in Mountain View, HI

Installation & Repair in Mountain View

New construction in East Hawaii goes in on a septic system, not a cesspool, and plenty of the systems already in the ground are reaching the age where parts fail. We install and repair septic systems across Hilo, Puna and the Hamakua coast. On the installation side we handle new homes and ohana units, the rebuilds that followed the 2018 eruption in lower Puna, and replacement systems for homes whose old cesspool or field has given out: the site evaluation, the Department of Health permit, the excavation in lava, the tank, the leach field or seepage bed on imported fill, and the inspection. On the repair side we fix what actually breaks: cracked lids and collapsed baffles, sewer lines crushed by rock settlement or invaded by roots, distribution boxes that send everything to one line, failed effluent pumps on lots that lift uphill, and leach fields that have gone wet. We find the real problem before we dig, because excavating lava to fix the wrong thing is an expensive mistake.

Cesspool and septic service in Mountain View

Mountain View is the upper Puna village on Highway 11 at about 1,500 feet, where the rainforest closes in, the air turns cool, and the subdivisions behind it, Fern Acres, Fern Forest, Eden Roc and the upper reaches of Hawaiian Acres, stretch back into some of the wettest country on the island. The village has its old plantation core and a scattering of farms and nurseries along the highway, and nearly everything is on catchment and on its own wastewater system. This is where the rain is heaviest in our whole service area, in places well past 150 inches a year, and wastewater here lives with that. Cesspools sit in rock that is wet nearly all the time, fern forest holds water on the surface for days after a storm, and a pit that is also full of sludge has no margin at all. The subdivisions behind Mountain View also hold a lot of part-time, off-grid and newly arrived owners, on long unpaved roads, with systems that came with no paperwork. We pump, inspect, convert and repair systems in Mountain View and the subdivisions behind it, and we know what the roads are like after a week of rain. Tell us where you are and what the system is doing, and we will come ready and quote it straight.
