If you’ve been looking for a Long Island cesspool company, your search is over with Antorino & Sons! With years of experience, their professionals offer the fast, efficient, and affordable Long Island cesspool service that you can count on to keep your toilets and drains flowing smoothly.

A septic system is an extremely efficient and economically friendly way to manage wastewater; no wonder why so many homes on Long Island use this type of system to handle their used water. While a cesspool is built to last a long time – and with proper maintenance, it can – there’s a chance that the system can fail.
If you’ve been noticing that your drains are running slower than they usually do; if there’s a pool of water in your lawn and it’s greener than usual; if you smell a foul stench coming up from your toilets or drains, or seeping up out of your yard – or if you see raw sewage pouring out of your drains (the most horrible sight imaginable), you need to call a Long Island septic tank service right away.
If any of the above-mentioned scenarios arise, it could mean that your cesspool just needs to be pumped; however, there’s a chance that you might actually require a Long Island cesspool installation. If that’s the case, don’t panic! A reputable cesspool installation company will be able to get the job done relatively quickly and for a price that will work with your budget.
With that said, to make things easier, it’s helpful to know what’s involved with a new cesspool installation. If you need a replacement septic system, here’s a look at some important things that you should be aware of before you have your new cesspool installed.
It’s hard to say exactly how much a new cesspool will run you. Several factors affect the cost, such as the size of the system that’s being removed, the size of the replacement system, whether or not all of the components or just a few of them have to be replaced, and the location of the system.
All of these things will impact the complexity of the job; hence the reason why the prices for new cesspool installations vary widely. To find out exactly how much you should expect to pay, reach out to a reputable Long Island cesspool installation company.
Plan for Permits and Assessments
A new cesspool installation does require permits, so make sure that you have them before the work begins. Your property and the existing cesspool will need to be assessed, as well. If your old system failed or collapsed, you might need to have environmental testing done, too.
Reach out to the health department to find out exactly what you need to do. You want to make sure that you are properly prepared with all of the necessary paperwork and inspections.
Removing an old septic system and replacing it with a new one will require heavy construction equipment. While an experienced company will take care to limit the damage, do be aware that parts of your yard will be torn up.
To ensure that things go as smoothly as possible, make sure that you prep your property before construction begins. For instance, if your cesspool is located behind a fence, have it taken down beforehand. Likewise, if there are any plants or trees nearby that you would like to preserve, dig them up and temporarily – or permanently – replant them. Make sure all vehicles and outdoor furniture or fixtures are removed before the process starts. Also, if you have young children and/or pets, make sure that you plan for them, too. The last thing you need is a curious child or dog near a work zone.
Old Westbury is a village in the Towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. The population was 4,671 at the 2010 census.
Westbury was founded by Edmond Titus, and was later joined by Henry Willis, one of the first English settlers. Westbury had been a Quaker community of isolated farms until the railroad came in 1836. After the Civil War, the New York elite discovered that the rich, well-wooded flat countryside of the Hempstead Plains was a place to raise horses, and to hunt foxes and play polo at the Meadow Brook Polo Club.
The Village of Old Westbury was incorporated in 1924, separating itself from Westbury, the adjacent area that housed many of the families of the construction and building staffs for the Old Westbury mansions. The “Old” part of Old Westbury’s name reflects the community’s need for its postal address to be different from the Westbury in Cayuga County, as per postal requirements (it had been using a postal address of North Hempstead for this reason); residents did this when they wanted a local post office ca. 1841, and when they incorporated Old Westbury as a village, they felt that it would be confusing for the village name and post office name to be different from one another. The Village of Westbury, located adjacent to Old Westbury, adopted that designation when it incorporated in 1932 as Cayuga County’s Westbury’s name was no longer being used.
The area was originally known as Wallage, which is related to a Native American term roughly meaning “ditch” or “hole.” By February 1663, it was known as Wood Edge, and by October 1675 it was known as “the Plains edge” or simply Plainedge. The name Westbury began to be used for the area around 1683. The name Westbury was chosen by Henry Willis, who named it after Westbury, Wiltshire, his hometown in England.
