Cesspool & Septic Pumping | Suffolk County Long Island


A septic tank works like a fish tank where there is a life cycle. Bacteria feeds microbes in the water. There will always be scum floating on the top and sludge on the bottom. Water will stay between the two layers unless the layer of scum and sludge are too thick. In which case the water will not be able to flow in or out of the tank usually clogging the pipes as a result. Bleach breaks down the cycle by killing all the microbes in the water. When you have a good functioning tank the microbes digest some of the scum layer and prolongs the maintenance intervals.



 A lot of systems have two cesspools. The second cesspool is an overflow cesspool that is in place to leach water into the sand while the main cesspool handles the solid material. Sometimes older homes have only one cesspool. Suffolk county mostly have a few systems like this. Suffolk cesspool systems run the gambit in regards to the types and variety of drainage systems in use.

How Does Your Septic System Work?


Effluent (sewage) flows into the septic tank allowing scum to float to the top, and sludge to sink to the bottom. Bacteria breaks down and begins to process the waste. This is called the "bacteria cycle" that occurs in your septic tank. This then allows waste water to flow to your cesspool, sewer, or leach field.
