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

Once defunct, they must be disconnected and replaced by modern septic systems .  In areas that have a higher than usual  water table  or fail a percolation test, an above-ground drain field waste disposal system may be installed instead. In the case of sale or transfer of residential property that uses an existing waste cesspool system , local laws may differ. Some counties or jurisdictions do not permit the sale of residential property that utilizes a waste cesspool . Other cou

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
