Dry Wells | Long Island Cesspool & Septic Services | www.NYSeptic.com

Dry Wells Dry wells are drainage structures that leach rain water from parking lots, roads, buildings, roof water, bridges, or a house roof or driveway into the ground. Home dry wells can also be utilized to leach laundry water into the ground. They can consist of precast concrete ring or multiple rings depending on the capacity needed or the depth which is needed to reach good sand for sufficient drainage. These precast rings are made in different diameters that also effect drainage capacity. On top of the precast ring or rings is a top which can be a dome or a slab with a smaller access hole in it. That hole is covered with either a steel manhole cover and brought to grade for access or a concrete cover that is buried below ground. If the cover is below ground, it will eventually need to be accessed at some point in it's life for maintenance. Dry wells are very similar to a cesspool with two key differences. One difference is obviously what waste water it's being us...

When waste water from your home enters the septic tank this is what happens: 1. Organic solid waste floats to the surface and forms a layer of what is commonly called “scum.”  Bacteria in the septic tank biologically digest and convert this material to liquid. 2. Inorganic solid materials and the by-products of bacterial digestions sink to the bottom of the tank and form a layer commonly known as “sludge.” 3. There’s only clear water between the scum and sludge layers. It is this clear water – And only this clear water – that should overflow ...

Maintaining A Cesspool System Below are a few ways to  maintain a cesspool . Each method listed has its pros and cons. Suffolk County has specific laws that must be followed, and  Murphy’s Cesspool & Septic Service  follows all protocols for not only Suffolk County, but all of Long Island Commercial and Residential locations.  Aeration Aeration is the chemical approach to  cleaning a cesspool . It is completed by pouring sulfuric acid into the well or tank. The sulfuric acid breaks down both solid waste and sludge creating an air passage. Waste is then dissolved the same way you would clean the pipes of your home with a chemical agent. The negative effects of this method of maintenance is that it can harm your cesspool or septic system in the long run.  Hydro-Jetting Hydro-Jetting is illegal in Suffolk County without using the proper regulation precautions in each incorporated village. This should be the first thing to note when considering t...
