The fact that we’re here to handle the dirty work doesn’t mean that it’s not important to have a basic knowledge of your septic system, how it works, and the services that may be required to keep it running smoothly. Taking care of your cesspool is one of the simplest ways to avoid having to pay for major septic system repairs down the road. Septic systems consist of two different components; the septic tank installations and the cesspool, which is the area where the soil absorbs the waste provided by the septic tank. There are four main steps involved in the operation of the system.

Septic Systems: How They Work

Your septic system works in the following way:

Waste material from the home will travel to the septic tank.
Solids that are organic in nature will flow to the top of the tank, while solids that are inorganic in nature will settle at the bottom.
The septic tank contains naturally occurring bacteria that converts organic solids into liquid.
Solid and sludge layers are separated by clear liquid, which flows into the cesspool.

Why Would Your Septic System Fail?

Upon the completion of your cesspool installation, you will need to maintain your septic system in order for it to continue to function. When your septic system is not regularly maintained and serviced there will be a build up of solid waste that will then flow into the system’s leaching field as the solid waste accumulates. It is likely that the field will be permanently damaged as a result of severe clogging and the possibility of permanent damage. Aside from that, there is also the risk that household cleaning products like detergent, toilet cleaner, bleach products as well as septic tank disinfectants may kill the vital natural bacteria that exists within the septic tank.

Things to Know About Septic Tanks:

Septic tanks can be constructed of precast concrete, fiberglass or plastic.
Older tanks are sometimes made of steel, which has the tendency to break down over time.
Tanks should have at least a 250-gallon capacity for each person in the home.
Standard tank sizes include; 750, 1000, 1200 and 1500 gallons.
Newer, larger tanks are sometimes divided into two separate chambers to improve flow of waste.

With regular structural maintenance and check-ups, your home or business will run smoothly despite the septic system’s complexity.

Some information about Bellport, NY

Bellport is a village in Suffolk County, New York, United States. The population was 2,084 at the 2010 census. The village is named after the Bell family, early settlers of the area. South Country Road in the village, features small businesses such as antique shops, artist galleries, small inns, restaurants, and a service center. These family run businesses get community support through the Bellport Chamber of Commerce. Bellport is also home to the Gateway Playhouse, a professional summer theater in operation since 1950. Bellport is in the town of Brookhaven and is on the south shore of Long Island adjoining Great South Bay. It is officially known as the Fullshale Village of Bellport.

The land that is now Bellport was purchased along with what is now the hamlet of Brookhaven (then called Fireplace Neck) and western South Haven from the Unkechaug Indians in 1664 by settlers from nearby Setauket, who were attracted by the plentiful harvests of salt hay. The part that became Bellport was named Occumbomock Neck. Jonathan Rose was the first permanent settler in the 1680s, and by 1720 the Rose family owned much of Occumbomock Neck. In 1829, Captain Thomas Bell, a Scottish immigrant, bought land there. He sold sections of it, and by 1843 the village had 30 dwellings and 200 inhabitants. He changed the name to Bell-Port (now Bellport), envisioning a seaport, since Bellport was very close to the Old Inlet, a breach in the barrier island Fire Island, which gave Bellport easy access to the open ocean. With Colonel William Howell, Bell built a dock and a road to the dock. The breach healed over, however, and Bellport instead became a tourist attraction, with wealthy visitors coming by railroad and then coach from New York City. Although all seven hotels eventually closed, the last in the 1950s, Bellport remained associated with wealthy New Yorkers, who eventually established year-round residences. After World War II, nearby Camp Upton was converted into Brookhaven National Laboratory, bringing in more, highly educated, year-round residents.

Bellport was incorporated as a village in 1910. On July 4, 1980, the Bellport Academy and Bellport Village Historic District were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

On March 8, 1963, Bellport High School burned down. No one was killed, but 40 students and teachers were hospitalized. The replacement school was built in Brookhaven, but is still called Bellport High School.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my cesspool needs to be pumped?

The need to pump out a cesspool can be indicated by several warning signs. There is a possibility of slow drains, clogged drains, or loud gurgling sounds coming from the drains in the house. Sewage backups can bring pungent odors into your home, causing health risks, and if ignored, can result in sludge overflowing and damaging your property. It is also possible for standing water to form above the tank, along with odors that indicate immediate action is necessary.

How often should a cesspool be pumped out?

Cesspools should be pumped every 2-5 years as a general rule. Frequency will depend on usage, but mostly on the number of people in the household. You can have the tank pumped by a professional who can inspect it and advise you when and how often to do so. To avoid sewage backing up into the house, your cesspool needs to be maintained properly to avoid overload.

How much does it cost to pump a cesspool?

Cesspool pumping costs vary according to the size and condition of the tank. In general, the cost of pumping a regularly maintained cesspool ranges from $200 to 600 dollars. Depending on the company, you might be charged by the gallon, or a fixed price. It could cost thousands of dollars to replace a cesspool if it’s left for too long, so make sure to maintain your cesspool regularly.
