If you’re cesspool isn’t working properly and it’s filling up with water too quickly, you probably have a leak in your toilet allowing water to flow into it constantly. Many times, even though it’s just been pumped out a week or so ago, if the ground under your home and the cesspool is clay, it won’t drain as quickly and will need pumped out again and again until leaks inside your home are repaired. Usually a cesspool will last a long time if it’s cleaned properly, but if multiple owners have lived in your home, you don’t know how the prior family treated it. If worse comes to worse, you may need to get an entirely new Septic System in Maui.
When you do have a new septic system installed, you’ll have specific questions to ask the company about its care. It will be to your benefit to talk to someone who knows Maui and the ground underneath. Depending on the type of ground underneath your home, the company will give you sound advice on prices and why they can be different for each family. There are many rules and laws in effect now since septic systems took over for cesspools back in 1992. Price of a system will depend on the size of your lot, how many are in the family, how many bedrooms your home has or rooms that could be turned into a bedroom and the size of the leach bed underneath the ground outside the home.
The company that puts in a septic system in Maui also performs lift station cleaning and grease trap cleaning for hotels and restaurants in the area. Grease is something owners of a septic system or cesspool should never allow into their systems.
Grease can coat around the sides clogging the system so that no water can drain. Along with grease, you’ll get an education from a good company about other items that shouldn’t be flushed down any toilet. Acids, paints, plastics, bleach, chemicals, and personal items should be gotten rid of properly.
The environment is very important and hazardous materials can leach into water systems, especially in certain sections of Maui. Septic tanks and cesspools are delicate, even though they are often taken for granted. Care must be taken so that the little micro-organisms working inside the tank are not destroyed by chemicals.
