Cesspool Pumping & Service in Smithtown, NY

Hills, trees and old systems in Smithtown

Smithtown (11787) is the center of the Town of Smithtown on Long Island's North Shore, centered on its Main Street and the Nissequogue River, with Kings Park, St. James, Hauppauge and Commack all within a short drive. It is an old community by Long Island standards, with a mix of historic houses, mid-century neighborhoods and newer developments.

The terrain here is rolling, with hills and moraine ground to the north and flatter outwash soil to the south. Drainage varies from street to street, and so does the age of the system underneath. Houses built in the 1950s and 1960s often have original concrete rings, while older homes may have something much older and less well documented. Mature trees are everywhere, and roots in the line between the house and the system are one of the most frequent causes of a slow drain.

When something backs up, call (631) 383-4797. Someone answers 24/7, and we will ask for your address and what is happening.

Properties close to the river or to wetlands may have additional rules to follow when a system is repaired or replaced. We check what applies to your lot before scheduled work and explain it in plain terms.

Part of the work in an older town is detective work. If a cesspool lid is missing from the plan, we locate it from the plumbing, open it and check the condition of the rings and baffles. If the pipe from the house is the problem, we can run a camera and show you where.

Because the town is old, some properties have had several owners and several additions. A system that was fine for a small house can be stretched by a later addition or a new bathroom, and we can tell you whether the current setup is handling the load.

We also help people buying or selling a house who want to know what condition the system is in before closing. Request a free estimate for planned work, or call any hour if there is an emergency.
