Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a cesspool be pumped?
It depends on the size of the cesspool and how heavily it is used, but many Oʻahu cesspools need pumping every one to three years. If drains slow down or odors appear sooner, it is time to schedule service.
What are the signs my cesspool is full or failing?
Slow drains, gurgling plumbing, sewage odors, unusually soggy or green patches of ground, and backups into the home are the most common warning signs.
Do I have to convert my cesspool to a septic system?
Hawaii law requires cesspools to be converted by 2050. Until then, regular pumping keeps yours working properly — and when you are ready to convert, we handle septic system installation and replacement too.
Is cesspool waste disposed of properly?
Yes. All waste is hauled to licensed disposal facilities in full compliance with health and environmental regulations.
Can you handle cesspool emergencies?
Yes. We answer 24/7 across Honolulu and Oʻahu. If your cesspool is overflowing or backing up, call us and we will dispatch a truck fast.
