Sewer, Septic or Cesspool

Parts of Hilo are on county sewer, while many homes outside town rely on cesspools or septic systems. The line from the house still has to be sound either way, and a camera shows where it's failing.

What It Costs

That comes down to line length and depth, pipe type, and what's above it. You get a written estimate before anything starts.

Sewer Line Repair FAQ

Do you pump septic tanks?

No, we repair lines; a pumper handles tanks.

Who owns the sewer lateral?

Typically the homeowner.

Does this need a county permit?

Water heaters, new lines and repipes usually do. The County of Hawaii Building Division handles plumbing permits through its EPIC online system, and your plumber files it and schedules the inspection.

How long does a repair take?

Often a day or two.
