What Is a Cesspool?
A cesspool is an open-end cylinder hole that is dug several feet into the ground. Although cesspools generally have brick lined walls, we frequently find them unlined. The waste is routed into the cesspool pit and then into the ground with no filtration. While all sewage waste is unpleasant, cesspools are in their own special category.
Although cesspools were quite common in the past, they have been prohibited since 1976 due to the potential for raw sewage to contaminate soil and ground water. The regulations against the use of cesspools affect new construction and real estate transfers of existing properties. Properties with a cesspool can have a negative impact on the sale of a property until an approved wastewater system is in place.
What Are Drywells & Leachfields?
A drywell is a holding well that is intended for stormwater. Cesspools and drywells are not suitable for treating human waste. For wastewater, a seepage pit is designed for filtering effluent. Seepage pits use leaching rock to aggregate the wastewater. The term seepage pit is often used interchangeably with a leachfield, but there is a difference.
The main difference between a leachfield and a seepage pit is the way they are designed. Seepage pits are vertical and leachfields are horizontal, but they operate in the same basic way. Both have an expected lifespan of about 20 years. We offer inspections for properties with cesspools drywells leachfields in Scottsdale and a full range of septic services to correct any problems or replace the entire system.

Inspections may be needed for a number of reasons, such as real estate transfer or because there is a specific concern with the septic system. We offer professional inspections and services for properties with cesspools, drywells, and leachfields. Our inspectors are NAWT certified to ensure that your inspection meets all local codes and regulatory requirements.
We have qualified professionals for:

When you need an inspection for a property transfer, we will send a certified inspector to provide a free site visit. After the site visit, we can provide you with a price for the inspection that is required. If the inspection reveals a problem with the system that needs to be addressed, we will explain the work that is needed, answer your questions, and provide you with an estimate for the job.

I was having trouble with getting proper water supply to my ice maker. Two companies were unable to fix it. Macho had re-plumber my house when I first moved in, so I called Alfredo out to see it he could figure it out and in 10 minutes he had it sorted. -

Macho dudes and dudettes were incredible. Very seldom do I work with such professional, excellent communicators. They swooped in when other people were pushing us aside due to our time requirements and they provided a seamless, happy experience that could have gone in many directions. Thank you all so much! I’ll keep ya on my speed dial for any possible oh sh*t moments. -

Our septic system backed up and we knew we needed some repairs to get it back in working order. I called Macho Contracting and Alfredo, the owner, came out the same day to take a look. Immediately, Alfredo diagnosed the problem and took the time to explain how the whole system works and why he felt this was the problem.- Adam R.
He was very kind to answer all of my questions in detail. He also took the time to assess the access into our yard and determined we could not get a drill rig in to bore a new seep pit.
He recommended that we change the system to a leach field for better operation.
I called around and got more opinions and quotes, however nobody seemed as knowledgable or trustworthy as Alfredo.
Alfredo and his team got us scheduled for the job within a few days and performed the work. His team was amazing, they are so nice and courteous. They dealt with me asking questions everyday and truly cared about making me comfortable with what they were doing. On a side note, Joel is an amazing equipment operator, he took great care when trenching to miss all of my irrigation pipes.
I will be using Alfredo and Macho Contracting for all of my plumbing needs moving forward, in fact we already have them scheduled to do an ADEQ certification on a house we are selling as Alfredo and Joel are certified NAWT/ADEQ Inspectors.
Thank you Alfredo and team, you have restored my faith in contractors! -
