Cesspool & Septic Service in Hicksville, NY

Hicksville sits in the Town of Oyster Bay, roughly central Nassau County. About 41,000 residents. The housing stock runs from prewar bungalows near the LIRR station to postwar split-levels and ranches pushing toward the Bethpage border.

Sewer coverage is substantial along Broadway and the transit corridor, but significant pockets of residential Hicksville — especially the larger-lot sections north of Old Country Road and east toward the Nassau-Suffolk line — are still on private disposal. Commercial properties along Broadway often have their own grease traps and sanitary systems.

If your home was built before 1965 and you're not on a sewered block, you almost certainly have a cesspool. Nassau DOH has the records; we can look yours up.

Hicksville sits on Nassau plain outwash soils — sandy loam with some gravel, generally flat, good drainage. This makes it a straightforward town for cesspool work compared to the rocky North Shore:

• Sandy loam and gravel — fast excavation, minimal equipment time
• Good percolation — standard leach ring designs without oversizing
• Moderate water table — typically 10–12 feet in residential sections
• Variable lot access — some of the denser older neighborhoods have tight access; we'll flag this during the estimate visit

For the older sections around Division Avenue and the original postwar developments, we sometimes encounter circular block cesspool rings from the 1940s–50s. These can be replaced in place or relocated, depending on property layout.

Nassau County Environmental Health runs all cesspool and septic permits. For Hicksville:

• Residential replacement: Application to Nassau DOH, 4–6 week review, Town of Oyster Bay building permit if excavation affects structural elements
• Commercial sanitary systems: Longer review — plan review by Nassau DOH Engineering, sometimes 8–12 weeks depending on scope and use classification
• Grease traps: Required for any food service operation; we size and install, handle the permit, schedule the inspection

We file everything. You sign the application, we do the running. Both residential and commercial.

Nassau County homeowners don't qualify for the Suffolk County Septic Improvement Program. That $30,000 grant is Suffolk-only.

Hicksville residential replacements typically run $12,000–$18,000 for conventional tank and field, depending on access and system size. Financing options:

• Cash — we accept check or bank transfer at job completion
• Commercial clients — net-30 invoicing available for established accounts

The Hicksville jobs we get most:

• Commercial grease trap cleaning and replacement for food service operations on Broadway and the mall area
• Routine residential pumping — Hicksville households on schedules every 2–3 years
• Pre-sale inspection reports for Nassau real estate transactions — attorneys increasingly require these at closing
• Emergency pumping — backed-up calls handled same-day when possible on Nassau routes

Q2: Do I need a permit for cesspool replacement in Hicksville? A2: Yes. All Hicksville replacements require a Nassau County Department of Health permit.

Q5: Is Hicksville on public sewer, or am I on a cesspool? A5: Parts of Hicksville near the LIRR corridor and some newer developments are sewered through the Oyster Bay Sewer District. Most older residential sections are on private disposal. Nassau County's online property portal confirms sewer status — or we check when we visit.
