Your Kurtistown Cesspool & Septic Crew

Kurtistown is the old plantation village along Highway 11 between Keaau and Mountain View, a short strip of homes, churches and a post office with Hawaiian Acres opening up behind it on the mauka side and Orchidland on the Keaau side. The village itself is a mix of plantation-era houses on small lots and newer homes on the agricultural parcels around it, and like all of upper Puna it is unsewered and on catchment. The old houses are on cesspools that have been in the rock for generations; the newer builds and the conversions are on septic. Kurtistown is also the funnel for the two big subdivisions behind it, so the roads see a lot of traffic and the homeowners here are used to being the address where the pump truck turns off the highway. The ground is young lava under a thin, wet skin of soil, and the rainfall climbs as you head up the highway, so a pit in Kurtistown drains better than one deep in Hawaiian Acres but still stays damp most of the year. We pump, inspect, convert and repair systems in Kurtistown and the lots around it. Tell us where you are on the highway and what the system is doing, and we will come ready and quote it straight.

Common Cesspool & Septic Issues in Kurtistown

The cesspool and septic problems we see most around here, and how we handle them.

Generations-old cesspools on village lots

The plantation houses in Kurtistown were built on cesspools that have served several families in a row. Decades of buildup seal the rock a little more each year. A thorough pump-out and a look at the walls and the refill tells you how much life the pit has left.

Small village lots next to large agricultural parcels

A conversion on a village lot has to fit the catchment tank, the house and the neighbors’ setbacks in a small space, while the agricultural parcels nearby have room to spare. We design for the lot in front of us and quote accordingly.

Rain that climbs with the highway

Kurtistown is wetter than Keaau and drier than Mountain View, and a cesspool here lives in damp rock most of the year. Pumping on schedule keeps a buffer so a wet week does not become a backup.

Cesspool & Septic Service in Kurtistown: FAQs

Do you serve Kurtistown and the lots off Highway 11?
Yes. Kurtistown is on our route between Keaau and Volcano every week, and we serve the village, the highway frontage and the agricultural parcels around it, as well as Hawaiian Acres behind it.
My family has owned this Kurtistown house for decades and the cesspool has never been pumped. Is that a problem?
It is time. A pit that has never been pumped is full of sludge that has been sealing the rock for years. We open it, pump it completely, read the walls and the refill rate, and give you an honest picture of whether it has years left or is near the end.
Is a conversion possible on a small village lot?
Usually, yes. A conventional field may not fit the setbacks, in which case an aerobic treatment unit needs less ground. We walk the lot, confirm what the Department of Health will approve, and give you a written price.
