  • How often should a cesspool be pumped and inspected?

    The frequency of your cesspool services depends on the size of your cesspool. We recommend cesspool services at least once every three years at a minimum.

  • What does a cesspool service entail?

    When you choose us for a cesspool service, we'll include pumping and an aeration treatment - and end with a chemical treatment. 

  • How deep is a cesspool buried?

    The septic tank is often buried six feet underground and about 10 feet away from the building. 

  • How much does a cesspool service cost?

    Costs can run between $350 and $650. The cost varies based on the location, size, and condition of the cesspool. 

  • How long does a cesspool last ?

    The lifespan of a cesspool can vary, but on average, it can last between 15 to 40 years. Proper maintenance, including regular professional pumpings, is essential for extending its lifespan.

  • How do I know if my cesspool is full or a clogged line ?

    To tell if your cesspool is full or if you have a clogged line, watch for slow drains, foul odors, gurgling sounds, or standing water around the cesspool, lush grass above the cesspool, or sewage backup.
