Cesspool Services
Pumping, Installation, Maintenance and Cleaning

Cesspools have been used to store sewage since the time of the ancient Greeks. Not too much has changed since their initial inception. They are used primarily as a temporary storage system for sewage where connections to a modern waste disposal system are not possible or would be too expensive. Cesspools require a great deal of attention over the years if you want them to function properly and prevent heavy saturation in the surrounding soil.

Our professional plumbers may not have been around with the ancient Greeks, but we’ve still been in business for a long time. We understand how to properly install, maintain, clean, and pump cesspools. We have worked with cesspool designs of all sorts as well as more modern septic tanks.

Cesspool & Septic Tank Installation

Adequate installation of a cesspool or septic tank is essential in guaranteeing that it operates properly for the duration of its lifespan. An improperly installed septic tank can pollute nearby waterways, which leads to expensive renovations and hefty government fines. We take our installation services very seriously to ensure that this never happens. We only utilize high-quality materials and the most effective installation techniques. The septic tanks we install are designed to last for generations at maximum effectiveness.

Permits aside, the installation of every cesspool begins with proper excavation. A tank that is installed at an incorrect depth or that is off pitch will result in long-term problems and will likely damage your property. We avoid these common mistakes by only employing the best contractors who understand how to use the best state-of-the-art equipment available.

Cesspool Location

If you aren’t sure where your cesspool is located, then you’re not alone. Many homeowners don’t worry about their sewage drainage system until it stops doing its job. We do not advise taking a shovel and digging around for the septic tank yourself. Instead, let our experts use modern technology to locate your tank for you without damaging the property. From Ground Penetrating Radar to flushable electronic transmitters; we have more than one tool available for locating your sewage tanks.

Cesspool Maintenance And Cleaning

With your cesspool located, we can move forward with maintenance and cleaning. Much like any other working component around your home, your cesspool needs to be maintained if you want it to work properly and increase longevity. We advise investing in cesspool maintenance at least once a year. Simple annual maintenance can help prevent many of the serious problems that result in expensive repairs.

Maintenance and cleaning services are not the same for every homeowner. We will locate any inefficiencies in your system and work to resolve them as quickly as possible. We also remove unwanted waste from the tanks like plastic and other non-biodegradable materials. This can also resolve ongoing plumbing problems like toilet clogs or slow sewage drainage.

Cesspool Pumping

The average cesspool requires pumping every two years, but smaller tanks might require pumping on an annual basis. Pumping is a standard technique used for clearing out a cesspool and improving its efficiency. However, you might find yourself in a situation where you are in need of emergency pumping services. This is common for homeowners who have recently moved into a home where the previous owner did not maintain the cesspool.

We are more than happy to offer emergency pumping services for our clients around the clock. If you notice sewage backing up into your yard, then it’s time to pick up the phone and schedule an emergency pumping visit. This could mean that the tank is too full and overdue for pumping. It could also indicate that the tank has been clogged in key areas causing sewage to leak out from the top. In either scenario, our emergency pumping services can help remedy the problem and return your cesspool to working order.

Aeration

A properly maintained cesspool may not require full pumping services to be cleaned on a regular basis. In these cases, we offer aeration services. With aeration, we pour a chemical like sulfuric acid into the cesspool and allow it to break down any solid build-up. The majority of the sludge will dissolve and prevent the need for pumping the system.

There are some instances where aeration may not be a viable solution. If the tank has not been pumped for too long of a period, then the chemical solution will not be effective. Some cesspools may also be damaged by the chemicals depending on their materials. We will inspect the tank to determine if aeration is a safe alternative for manual pumping.

Cesspool Inspection

Inspections are important for multiple reasons. As a homeowner, they can provide you with peace of mind regarding the condition of your sewage system. They can make you aware of any existing problems or the likelihood of problems developing in the near future. You can use this information to plan ahead for repairs or maintenance.

Many locations also require cesspool inspections prior to selling a home on the real estate market. These inspections provide potential buyers with the same useful information that they can use to plan for the future.
