Cesspool Pumping & Service in Commack, NY

Septic and cesspool notes for Commack

Commack (11725) is a mostly residential hamlet in the Town of Huntington, with a small part in Smithtown, built around Jericho Turnpike and Commack Road. Hauppauge, Kings Park, East Northport and Dix Hills border it, and the Northern State Parkway runs along its south side.

Most of the housing was built from the 1950s through the 1970s, and a large share of it is ranches, split-levels and colonials on quarter-acre or larger lots. The ground is rolling, and soil conditions change from block to block. Many homes still run on private cesspools or septic tanks, some of which are original to the house. After five or six decades, rings and baffles can fail, and tree roots find their way into lines that were laid when the trees were saplings.

If a toilet or drain is backing up, call (631) 383-4797 any hour. A person answers, and we will work out the next step with you.

The simplest way to avoid trouble is a regular pump-out. During a visit we open the system, check its level and inspect the cover, rings and baffles. If it needs a repair, we point out what we see and the options, so you decide with the facts.

Larger lots often mean a long run of pipe between the house and the system. That is where roots and settling cause problems, and a camera shows exactly where. Sometimes a section of line can be repaired without touching the cesspool itself.

Commack homes were often built with more bathrooms than the older neighborhoods around them, and families have added to them since. If your house has more fixtures than it did when the cesspool went in, it is worth asking us whether the system is still the right size.

If your system is old and you are thinking ahead, we can talk through replacement and what that would involve on your lot. Request a free estimate for planned work, or call at any hour for an emergency.
