Most Islandia, NY property owners don’t think twice about flushing their toilets or drains; the water just disappears as if by magic, never to be seen again. Rather than disappearing into thin air, that water flows down pipes to a buried septic tank. When it comes to their septic system, most people have an “out of sight, out of mind” mentality since it isn’t visible, and unfortunately, they pay the price for it. The United States experiences tens of thousands of cesspool overflows each year. In addition to causing serious property damage, these overflows can have devastating effects on the environment.

Septic overflows can be avoided, fortunately. Exactly how? By hiring a reputable company like Quality Cesspool to perform routine septic tank maintenance.

What is involved in septic tank services?

Exactly what does septic tank service entail? These inspections include a thorough examination of the wastewater collection system. A professional should inspect the system every three to five years, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To ensure the system is functioning properly, the entire system, including the tank, the filtration system, and the drain field, will be inspected.

The EPA recommends cleaning and pumping septic tanks every three to five years in addition to inspections. In the course of pumping and cleaning, special equipment is used to remove wastewater accumulated in the tank as well as sludge and scum on the walls.

Some of the top benefits of having your Islandia, NY septic tank professionally serviced include:

  • Detection and correction of any issues. By having your septic tank serviced by a professional, any issues, such as cracks and blockages, can be detected and corrected before they cause dangerous and costly problems.
  • Proper septic tank usage tips. A professional will provide you with tips that will help you keep your septic system in tip-top condition; things you shouldn’t flush down your drains and toilets and how to maintain the balance of healthy bacteria, for example. An experienced professional will also be able to advise you on any lifestyle habits that are currently being practiced in your Islandia, NY home or business that might need to be changed.
  • Improved safety. Sewage backups aren’t just costly messes; they can be extremely dangerous. Raw sewage is full of harmful bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Exposure to raw sewage can lead to Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, and other serious and even fatal health conditions. By having your septic system pumped, cleaned, and inspected, the risk of overflow and the health concerns that can be associated with sewage exposure can be minimized.
  • Cost savings. The cost of repairing the damages that are associated with sewage backups can be exorbitant. Since a professional can detect and correct any underlying problems before they become major issues and because accumulated wastewater will be removed from the tank before it reaches capacity, having your septic system professionally serviced can save you a lot of money in the long run.
  • Greater peace of mind. By having your septic tank properly cared for, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your drains will flow freely and that there will be less risk of a costly and potentially dangerous overflow.
Have a question?

Islandia incorporated itself as a village in April 1985 after CA Technologies established its world headquarters in Hauppauge and trying to capture the Hauppauge School District, in the area some people informally referred to as South Hauppauge. After more than three years of conducting local research, residents appeared in front of Islip’s officials to take the first steps in incorporating Islandia on September 16, 1980. At the meeting, locals presented the Town of Islip was a petition signed by 432 Islandia Residents, which was over the 180 minimum required, and also presented the $1,000 (1980 USD) filing fee required. Many officials in the Town of Islip, including Town Supervisor Michael LoGrande, were less than thrilled with the proposal, and Islip soon sued the organizers of the prospective village in an attempt to prevent Islandia’s incorporation. It wasn’t until December 1984 that the Town of Islip dropped their opposition and asked residents in return for at least 200 residents to sign a letter to promise that the community would not exclude minorities from living within its borders. An incorporation vote was soon held, during which residents ultimately voted in favor of incorporating, and in April 1985, Islandia officially became an incorporated village. Its founding father was Warren Raymond.

When it incorporated, Islandia became the first new village on Long Island to incorporate in over 15 years (the last village incorporated prior to Islandia was Lake Grove in 1968).

The core of Islandia is a 500-home housing development built by Levitt & Sons circa 1963, which offered seven different model homes to choose from. The original Levitt home buyers were informed during pre-construction sales that their children should attend the Hauppauge Union Free School District, but instead it became part of the Central Islip Union Free School District. The Levitt development was assigned the Central Islip ZIP code 11722 and was considered part of Central Islip until the incorporation of Islandia in 1985.
