Like the human digestive system, there is good bacteria that is necessary to break down solids and waste. When we place certain household chemicals in the system, we can harm a  cesspool system  as opposed to helping clear it.  Chemicals used in a home such as, ammonia or antibacterial cleansers will kill the good bacteria preventing a sewage system to break

A cesspool is basically just an upside down bucket with a bunch of holes drilled around the sides. Except in  cesspool  construction the sides of the bucket is made from  steel reinforced precast concrete rings. These precast rings are engineered with specific design features and are made in a few diameters.  The “rings” as we call them in our industry, are constructed from concrete and rebar. A round steel frame made from rebar is put into a mold. Then the concrete is poured in from the top until the mold is filled. Air is then vibrated out. After that the ring is left to cure. Curing times vary depending on variables like weather and temperature.  The rings usually have holes all the way around them that serve a dual purpose. The holes around the precast ring are a wedge shape . These wedge shaped holes are bigger around the outside wall of the ring. The holes taper inward and get smaller as they get closer to the inner wall of the precast ring. These holes actua

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. Although laws change
