Your Honomu Cesspool & Septic Crew
Honomu is the little plantation town at the turnoff to Akaka Falls, a single main street of raised wooden storefronts just off Highway 19 about ten miles north of Hilo, with camp houses behind it, Hakalau and its bay a few minutes north, and the road to the falls climbing mauka through old cane land and gulches. The town is unsewered and so is everything around it. The old houses on the main street and the camp lots are on cesspools from the sugar days; the farm parcels and newer homes up the Akaka Falls road and toward Hakalau are a mix of cesspools and septic, and the conversions are adding to the septic side every year. The ground is Hamakua ground, real soil over old lava, cut by deep gulches that carry serious water in a storm, and the rain here is heavy and steady through the winter. Honomu is small enough that the pump truck is a familiar sight, and the mix of long-time families, visitors passing through to the falls, and newcomers restoring a plantation house keeps us busy with pump-outs, inspections for the houses that change hands, and conversions planned ahead of the state deadline. We work Honomu, Hakalau and the Akaka Falls road regularly. Tell us where you are and what the system is doing, and we will quote it straight.

Common Cesspool & Septic Issues in Honomu
The cesspool and septic problems we see most around here, and how we handle them.
Plantation storefronts and camp houses on old pits
Honomu’s wooden buildings and camp houses sit on cesspools that predate most of their owners. They are often shallow and often unmarked. We locate, open and pump them, read the walls and the refill, and tell you how much life the pit has.
Gulches and storm runoff
The gulches around Honomu move a lot of water in a storm, and a cesspool or a leach field in their path takes on runoff it was never designed for. Diverting surface water and keeping the pit pumped is the defense against a wet-winter backup.
Restored plantation homes changing hands
Honomu draws buyers who want to restore a plantation house, and they inherit its cesspool. We inspect for closings, explain what the pit is doing and what the state deadline means, and lay out the conversion options for a small town lot.
