CESSPOOLS | LI, NEW YORK


A cesspool system or cesspools are underground leaching structures that were built and used for centuries now. A cesspool used to be the main component in the removal of wastewater (also known as blackwater. When cesspools are used as the main drainage component solids and sludge dump directly into the sand at the bottom of the cesspool system.

Sometimes when a poorly maintained cesspool is overwhelmed by a debris. The results can be catastrophic! Property damage is common. Loss of income due to repairs or customers simply not being able to get into your parking lot or yard. Murphy's Cesspool & Septic Service reminds us maintenance is the key!

A cesspool was at one time built like a dry well lined with loose-fitting brick or stone, used for the disposal of sewage via infiltration into the soil. Liquids leaked out through the soil as conditions allowed, while solids decayed and collected as composted matter in the base of the cesspool. As the solids accumulated, eventually the particulate solids blocked the escape of liquids, causing the cesspool to drain more slowly or to overflow.

A biofilm forms in the loose soil surrounding a cesspool or pit latrine which provides some degree of attenuation of the pollutants present, but a very deep cesspool can allow raw sewage to directly enter groundwater with minimal biological cleansing, leading to groundwater pollution and undrinkable water supplies. It is for this reason that deep water wells on the property must be drilled far from the cesspool.

Most residential waste cesspools in use in the US today are rudimentary septic systems, consisting of a concrete-capped pit lined with concrete masonry units (cinder blocks) laid on their sides with perforated drain field piping (weeping tile) extending outward below the level of the intake connection. The concrete cover will often have a cleanout pipe extending above ground. Some are constructed with concrete walls on one or more sides.

The waste cesspool is vulnerable to overloading or flooding by heavy rains or snow melt because it is not enclosed and sealed like conventional septic tank systems. It is also vulnerable to the entry of tree roots which can eventually cause the system to fail.

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 proces

Sewage Systems & COVID-19 | NYSeptic.com

Onsite sewage system service providers and installers who clean out septic, holding and pump tanks along with aerobic treatment units, and perform operation and maintenance and repairs are commonly exposed to untreated wastewater that contains disease-causing organisms including pathogens, which are primarily bacteria and viruses. When a septic system professional is working on a system, it is unlikely to know what specific disease-causing organisms are in the wastewater, including COVID-19. COVID-19 concentrations and survival in feces, sewage or water are currently unknown.  The virus that causes COVID-19 has been detected in the feces of some patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The amount of virus released from the body (shed) in stool, how long the virus is shed and whether the virus in stool is infectious are not known. According to research conducted by the Washington On-Site Sewage Association, the aerosolization of s ewage through standard methods of pumping pose the

COVID-19 Facts for Cesspools & Septic Systems

Drinking Water Concerns The virus that causes COVID-19 has not been detected in drinking water. Conventional water treatment methods that use filtration and disinfection , such as those in most municipal drinking water systems, should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19. COVID-19 and Human Feces The virus that causes COVID-19 has been detected in the feces of some patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The amount of virus released from the body (shed) in stool, how long the virus is shed, and whether the virus in stool is infectious are not known. The risk of transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19 from the feces of an infected person is also unknown. However, the risk is expected to be low based on data from previous outbreaks of related coronaviruses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). There has been no confirmed fecal-oral transmission of COVID-19 to date. Pools & Hot Tubs r
