“Our septic system was overdue for cleaning, and we had family flying in the next day. I called Bob’s Sweetwater Pumping, and they showed up the same day, pumped everything quickly, and left no mess. It’s rare to find that kind of speed and professionalism. Highly recommended for anyone in Kona!”

Solution:
Our East Hawai‘i crew arrived within 2 hours. The system was pumped thoroughly, cleaned, and reinspected. We left behind a clear maintenance plan and set them up with annual service to prevent future issues.

A commercial site near Kawaihae was experiencing flooding due to blocked storm drains.

Multi-System Residential Maintenance – Honokaʻa
A homeowner managing three separate systems needed coordinated maintenance.
