Cesspool Basics: How to Keep Things Flowing Smoothly
Keeping the home healthy and clean is a priority for homeowners. A common way to do this is by installing a cesspool. Once you have installed a Long Island cesspool in your yard, you are well on your way to keeping your home clean and as environmentally friendly as possible. Keeping your pipes up to code is a great way to keep everything running smoothly. Of course, having a cesspool does require some basic maintenance. One of the best things you can do for the health of your cesspool is to keep it clean. Quality Cesspool can help! Don’t trust just any cesspool service on Long Island, go with the company that has been keeping cesspools clean for generations! Read on for some tips on how to practice some basic cesspool maintenance.
Why Do I Need To Clean My Cesspool?
Let’s face it: cleaning a cesspool can be a dirty job, but someone has to do it. The team at cesspool installation knows the best way to clean your cesspool, and we are readily available to do so. But why does it need to be cleaned in the first place? Is there anything that you can do to keep it up on your own? Regular cleaning and pumping of your cesspool should be performed by the professionals. However it isn’t a bad idea to do some basic maintenance yourself. Here are some things you can do, and not do, to make sure it does its job correctly, and practice cesspool maintenance.
What Do I Need to Know About My Cesspool?
First, after cesspool installation, you must learn where the cesspool lives on your property. You can follow the direction of the pipes from your house and then look for slight depression in the ground, or a small mound. If you are at a loss, you can also obtain blueprints of your property from your Town Hall. Once you’ve found your cesspool, regularly perform visual inspections of the ground surrounding it.
Soaking Away The Sludge
Before you get to work, protect yourself by wearing goggles, an extra layer of clothing, and gloves. Once you find your cesspool, you need to locate its lid. Remove the lid of your cesspool with a metal bar. If there is a filter present, it should be unscrewed. You can then hose down the sides of your cesspool every now and then to avoid any sludge build up. Then you can administer a bacteria-free additive that will optimize the performance of the existing bacteria in the cesspool. Afterwards, simply replace the filter and the lid.
What Else Can I Do to Keep My Cesspool Running Properly?
The best way to keep your cesspool functioning properly is to avoid common threats. You should leave detailed cleaning and cesspool pumping to us, but you can avoid problems, and costly septic system repair, yourself. In other words, do NOT:
- Flush anything besides human waste and toilet paper.
- Pour grease or oil down your sink.
- Park any vehicles over the cesspool area.
- Allow rainwater runoff to reach the cesspool area.
- Plant any woody rooted plants and trees over the cesspool area.
- Use laundry products that are not compatible with septic systems.
It is wise to think about the long term benefits of having a cesspool system that runs smoothly. If you don’t care for it properly, you could create years of problems for your septic system. Call the team of professionals at Quality Cesspool today to develop a plan for keeping your cesspool and septic tank running smoothly!
