Septic Tank Pumping & Cleaning in Hawaiian Paradise Park, HI

Septic Pumping in Hawaiian Paradise Park

If your home is one of the newer builds or converted systems on this side of the island, you have a septic tank instead of a cesspool, and it needs pumping just the same. Solids settle to the bottom of the tank, grease and scum float to the top, and the clear liquid in between flows out to a leach field or seepage bed in the lava. Pumping removes the solids and scum before they can wash out and clog the field, which is the expensive part of the system and the hardest part to rebuild in rock. We pump and clean septic tanks across Hilo, Puna and the Hamakua coast. We locate and open the tank, pump it down completely, break up and remove the packed sludge rather than skimming the liquid, check the inlet and outlet baffles and the lids, and give you a realistic interval based on your tank size and household. Converted cesspool systems, vacation rentals around Volcano and Hilo, and homes bought with no service history are the ones that most often need the full cleaning rather than a quick pump.

Cesspool and septic service in Hawaiian Paradise Park

Hawaiian Paradise Park, HPP to everyone who lives there, is one of the largest subdivisions in the state: a grid of one-acre lots running from Highway 130 down to the sea cliffs at Kaloli Point, with Paradise Drive, Makuu Drive and Kaloli Drive as its spines and dozens of numbered avenues between them. The roads are private and maintained by the owners’ association, nearly every house is on rainwater catchment, and nearly every house is on its own wastewater system: cesspools on the older homes, septic systems on the newer builds and the conversions. The land is flat pahoehoe and a‘a with little soil, and the lower avenues near the coast sit close enough to sea level that a cesspool there can take on groundwater and fill from below. HPP has grown fast with mainland buyers drawn to an acre of land near Hilo, which means a steady run of home sales, each wanting a pump-out and an inspection, and a lot of new owners who are learning what a cesspool is and what the state deadline means for it. We pump, inspect, convert and repair systems up and down the avenues every week. Tell us the avenue and the cross street and what the system is doing, and we will quote it straight.
