"I called and got a friendly greeting. 
The service call came right on time and did a nice job.
i didn't have a problem but I had never had the cesspool pumped in 22 years.
OK, it was a brand new cesspool 22 years ago and my first house so I am really clueless.
I am told to pump it every 5 years so I guess I was over due. 
Not having a clue I only had an idea of what the cost was through the phone call I had made to the company. 
I was told $485 but was charged extra for aeration , chemicals and a tube going to the over flow tank. 
In total it was $750 with my Angie's List 10% off. 
Not to bad considering I never had it done before. 
Ray & Paul were very good at what they do, professional and got me up to speed on what was going on. 
I recommend using them!

"Review for Cesspool Services I recently had the pleasure of working with Cesspool R Us for our property’s cesspool maintenance, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail that made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The technicians arrived promptly, fully equipped, and ready to get to work. They took the time to explain the process clearly and answered all of my questions, which was greatly appreciated. The work was done efficiently, and they ensured that the area was left clean and tidy, going above and beyond in their commitment to customer satisfaction. What really stood out was their knowledge and thorough approach. They identified and addressed potential issues I wasn’t even aware of, which saved us from potential future problems. It’s rare to find a company so dedicated to quality service and customer care. I highly recommend Cesspool R Us for anyone in need of reliable, high-quality cesspool services. Their team is skilled, respectful, and truly dedicated to doing the job right. Thank you for providing such excellent service!"

"Mike was very nice. He explained everything he was doing and had me look at what he was doing. My son is in the Army and Mike gives military discounts which helped with the price. He took his time finding the septic covers and cleaning two pools out. He cleaned up when he was done. Mike even placed the sections of grass he removed back in place. I could barely tell he d dug such a large hole. I would use Great South Bay Environmental again and I definitely recommend him."

"Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value The crew at Cesspool Pros was phenomenal! The boss, Joe S., answered all my questions and came to my home and walked the property with me and explained how everything would work a good two weeks before the project started. I had an older block cesspool and overflow tank and the pipe between them was collapsed and no longer working. After contacting several companies, I knew after speaking with Joe that he was the most knowledgeable and advised me the best way to correct the problem was to replace the system with a modern one rather than do a riskier pipe repair that likely would not have held long and been dangerous to do. I have a very deep septic line coming from my house, at least 9-10 feet down from the house, and even lower from the cesspool to the overflow tank. After meeting and speaking with Joe, we set a date and his crew arrived on time and spared some landscaping so it could be re-planted while excavating the property. His company has all its own equipment and they were a great team working together on the site. I stayed home to observe the process and they answered all my questions while doing the job! The install went very smooth and it is truly an interesting and awesome process to observe. They demolished the old cesspool while installing the new septic tank and then abandoned and filled the old overflow tank as per code. They then installed a new overflow system further down the property. They measured and marked all the necessary locations should any future work be required as well. They also then put all the dug up ground back down and graded the property so it could be re-seeded! Today, Joe the owner, personally dropped off the official Suffolk Board of Health paperwork to my house! All in all, I highly recommend Cesspool Pros for any septic system work! They were competitively priced, punctual, responsible, professional, and above all, they are great at what they do! Do no hesitate at all to use them!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A septic system's lifespan typically ranges from 15 to 40 years, with a common average of 20 to 30 years. The longevity heavily depends on the tank's material, maintenance diligence, and usage habits. With proper care, lifespans can reach the upper end of this range.

Lifespan by Tank Material:

  • Concrete: 20 to 40 years

  • Plastic or Fiberglass: 30 to 40 years

  • Steel: 15 to 20 years

To maximize your system's lifespan, follow these maintenance best practices:

  • Regular Pumping and Inspections: Have the tank pumped every three to five years and schedule professional inspections regularly.

  • Mindful Usage: Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid putting items like cat litter, paper towels, cigarette butts, fats, grease, oils, or coffee grounds down your drains.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not pour harsh chemicals into the system.

  • Water Conservation: Reduce the amount of wastewater your system has to process.

  • Protect the Drain Field: Avoid driving or building heavy structures over the drain field area.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), septic tanks must be located a decent distance from places subject to flooding or surface ponding. Additionally, septic tanks should be installed on level ground so that the waste can properly settle in the tank. Most tanks are located 10 to 20 feet away from the home. More specific requirements vary by location, so call a local septic pro or your local health department for more information.

Perc rates vary dramatically, and a good perc rate could be anything from 5 minutes per inch of drainage to 60 minutes per inch. The lower the number, the faster your system will drain and the more effective it will be. A 60-minute-per-inch drain rate is the highest number considered to be good, or even allowable, draining.

A household of four can easily fill a 1,000-gallon septic tank within a week. It may be 10 to 14 days for smaller households. But the reason why you don't need weekly pumping is because the tank's contents eventually reach the overflow pipe. They flow down this pipe to the absorption area whenever water is used in your home. The tank keeps working at this full level until it's pumped again.

For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain.
