Your Mountain View Cesspool & Septic Crew

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.

Common Cesspool & Septic Issues in Mountain View

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

The wettest ground we work in

Mountain View and the subdivisions behind it see some of the heaviest rain on the island, and the fern forest floor holds it. Cesspools here refill from the ground and stay wet year-round. Regular pumping keeps a buffer in the pit; a pit that has stopped draining will show it in the refill rate, and we will tell you.

Off-grid homes on long unpaved roads

Fern Acres, Fern Forest and Eden Roc have homes a mile or more back on cinder roads that soften after rain. We ask about the road when you call, bring enough hose to park on solid ground, and reach the pit from there.

Systems with no history

A lot of upper Puna homes sold with a cesspool and no paperwork. We locate it, pump it, read the walls and the refill, and give the new owner a straight picture of its condition and what the state deadline means for it.

Cesspool & Septic Service in Mountain View: FAQs

Do you serve Fern Acres, Fern Forest and Eden Roc as well as Mountain View village?
Yes. The subdivisions behind Mountain View are part of our regular upper Puna route. Tell us the road and how far back the lot sits, and whether the road has been soft lately, so the truck comes ready.
Why does my cesspool stay full even when it has not rained for a few days?
At this elevation the ground rarely dries out, and the rock around the pit holds water for a long time after a storm. The pit refills from the ground. It can still work as long as there is room for the household, but the sludge has to be pumped regularly and the pit’s drainage checked.
Can a septic system be built in rainforest ground like this?
Yes. A conversion here is a raised leach bed on imported fill, sized for the rainfall as well as the house, or an aerobic treatment unit where the lot or the ground calls for it. The design accounts for the wet ground and the catchment setbacks, and the Department of Health reviews it.
