What is a Cesspit?
A cesspit is a sealed, undercover storage container that receives wastewater and sewage.
A cesspit guides your building's wastewater into a high-capacity chamber that can keep a high volume of wastewater, providing you a long-term, dependable drainage system.
A cesspool is a solitary chamber, typically made from brick or concrete.
Dissimilar to a septic tank, there's no processing or treatment of the effluent liquid and wastewater in the container.
It is sometimes regarded as an unfashionable method of waste disposal, and dates back to the Roman era!
Why Do Cesspits Overflow?
Over time, the sewage and wastewater in a cesspool deposits at the base of the tank, which will constantly fill up.
Therefore, the sewage and wastewater gathered in the chamber should be cleared regularly.
Understandably, it's important to get the waste emptied from your cesspool.

How Often Should My Cesspit Be Emptied?
How often your cesspit needs emptying depends on the size of the unit, the size of the building and how many people are using it.
For example, some cesspools only need to be pumped once a year. But, others may need to be cleared every season, or every 6 months.
Your cesspit can generally be discovered by sliding off the manhole cover.
If you recently moved in to a new residence, it may be best to ask the previous tenants how often they had it cleaned.
If you need expert advice, call us today on 01622 919012 to speak to one of our qualified crew.

Cesspits vs Septic Tanks
In the drainage field, naturally existing waste-degrading aerobic bacteria diffuses any remaining waste, enabling the water to be naturally recharged.
A septic tank is considered a more advanced cesspit. Similar to a sewage treatment plant, a septic tank is used to treat wastewater and sewage through biological break down.
Septic tanks can be placed in households, as well as placed in industrial buildings to treat wastewater from kitchens and bathrooms.
Put simply, a septic tank is a rectangular watertight container that contains two compartments, separated by a barrier, and is installed underground.
Septic tanks are typically installed in agricultural settings.
This is because in cities and towns wastewater is usually transferred and dealt with by a sewage system that's maintained by a local water company.
A septic tank is made up of two compartments.
The first chamber is typically known as the 'settling chamber' and receives wastewater from an inlet pipe. In this chamber, lighter solids, oils, and grease rise to the top of the water.
Sewage waste is drawn to the bottom where this is biodegraded by natural occurring bacteria.
The remaining liquid flows into the second chamber, and then out of the tank into the drainage ground.
The solid waste left at the bottom of the septic tank needs to be removed periodically as part of regular maintenance by a registered waste carrier, such as KD Drainage.
Both septic tanks and cesspits collect wastewater and sewage and store it.
With a cesspool, there's no processing or treatment of the sewage.
However, septic tanks use a simple treatment process that enables the water to escape from the container.
In contrast, cesspits do not filter any waste as they're lined with cement and stone. If left full for too long, they can pollute the surrounding grounds.
There are no outlets in a cesspit, meaning the waste sits inside the tank, however there is piping to release the fumes that build up over time.
Cesspools require pumping more often than septic tanks and are often seen as a temporary wastewater system.
In some instances, cesspits can be set up with an alarm that alerts the owner when the tank is at maximum capacity and needs extracting.
However, this must be done by professionals, such as our drainage engineers, as cesspits emit hazardous gases when the lid is opened.
