Maintaining A Cesspool System in Suffolk County

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 this approach. Now, the process involves high-pressure water to break up and separate solid waste from the bottom and sides of a cesspool to clean it out through the leach system. Hydro-Jetting is the fastest way to clear a cesspool system, but you must follow all guidelines for Suffolk County regulations. Murphy’s Cesspool & Septic Service urges you to please think of the environment prior to deciding how to maintain your cesspool with any maintenance.

Cesspool Pumping

Pumping your cesspool on a regular basis is a common way to keep the cesspool system at its optimum functionality. Murphy’s Cesspool & Septic Service is equipped to assist with this process following all Suffolk County guidelines with a Septic truck. This vehicle empties out your cesspool into a large septic storage tank on an industrial truck. The hose used is generally a green color to indicate it is used for waste. Hiring Murphy’s Cesspool & Septice to pump your cesspool every two years is a great practice that can save money in the long run avoiding blockages in your septic system.

Cesspools come in a variety of sizes. Small tanks can be pumped once per year. Large industrial tanks can be pumped every 5 years. Murphy’s Cesspool & Septice is a certified professional in the waste management industry following all Suffolk County, and environmental guidelines.
