Cesspool Pumping in Waimea (Kamuela), HI

Cesspool Pumping in Waimea (Kamuela)

Cesspool pumping is the most common call we get on the Kona side. A cesspool is a pit in the lava that takes everything from the house and lets the liquid seep out through its walls and floor. Over the years the solids build up, grease and soap coat the rock, and the walls seal, so the pit takes water more and more slowly until it backs up. Pumping removes the solids and the standing liquid so the pit can drain again. We pump residential cesspools across West Hawaii: we find and expose the lid, pump the pit down, break up and remove the packed solids where we can, and look at how the walls are taking water while it is empty. Then we tell you straight whether this is a cesspool with years left or one that is sealing up and needs a conversion plan. Most homes are done in one visit.

Cesspool & septic service in Waimea (Kamuela)

Waimea, Kamuela on the mail, is the ranch town at 2,600 feet between the Kohala mountains and the saddle, cooler and greener than anywhere else on our side of the island, with Parker Ranch land all around it. It is a different setting for wastewater work. The wet side of town, toward the Hamakua slope, has real soil and real rain, and leach fields there deal with saturated ground for much of the year; the dry side, toward Kohala Mountain Road and down toward Kawaihae, is more like the coast, rocky and quick to drain. Part of the town center is on a shared system, but the ranch lots, horse properties, farm parcels in Lalamilo, and the homes along Mana Road and in the homesteads run on their own cesspools, septic tanks, and aerobic units. We pump cesspools and septic tanks, convert cesspools to septic, inspect for home sales, and repair failed systems throughout Waimea. We see older ranch homes on cesspools that have never been documented, horse properties whose wash racks and extra households load a system sized for a small family, leach fields on the wet side that stay soggy through the winter, and a steady run of sales to families drawn by the schools and the climate. We know the difference between a wet-side and a dry-side lot, and we tell you plainly what your system needs. Call with where the property is and what is going on.
