What is a Cesspool?
A cesspit is a secured, buried storage tank that receives wastewater and sewage.
A cesspit leads your building's wastewater into a high-capacity chamber that can keep a high quantity of wastewater, giving you a long-term, fail safe drainage system.
A cesspit is a single compartment, typically constructed of brick or concrete.
In contrast to a septic tank, there's no processing or treatment of the effluent liquid and wastewater in the container.
It is often regarded as an older method of waste disposal, and dates back to the Roman empire!
Why Do Cesspits Overflow?
Gradually, the sewage and wastewater in a cesspool deposits at the bottom of the receptacle, which will constantly fill up.
For that reason, the sewage and wastewater collected in the container should be pumped repeatedly.
On that basis, it's critical to get the waste removed from your cesspit.
Call in the experts on 01622 919012 to get your cesspit emptied.
How Often Should My Cesspit Be Emptied?
How frequently your cesspool needs pumping depends on the size of the container, the size of the property and how many people are using it.
For example, some cesspools only need to be pumped every 12 months. But, others may need to be cleared every quarter, or every 6 months.
Your cesspool can generally be located by lifting 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 specialist help, call us today on 01622 919012 to speak to one of our experienced crew.

Cesspits vs Septic Tanks
In the drainage land, naturally occurring waste-degrading aerobic bacteria dissolves any left over waste, allowing the water to be naturally refilled.
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 decay.
Septic tanks can be fitted in dwellings, as well as installed in commercial buildings to treat wastewater from kitchens and bathrooms.
Put simply, a septic tank is a rectangular watertight receptacle that contains two compartments, separated by a wall, and is fitted underground.
Septic tanks are typically installed in rural areas.
This is because in built up areas wastewater is usually transported and dealt with by a sewage system that's maintained by a local water authority.
A septic tank is constructed of two compartments.
The first compartment is usually known as the 'settling chamber' and receives wastewater from an inlet pipe. In this compartment, lighter solids, oils, and grease rise to the top of the water.
Sewage waste is drawn to the base where this is biodegraded by natural occurring bacteria.
Any remaining liquid flows into the second compartment, and then out of the tank into the drainage field.
The solid waste left at the foot of the septic tank needs to be pumped out 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 wastewater.
However, septic tanks use a basic treatment process that allows the water to leave the tank.
In contrast, cesspits cannot filter any waste as they're lined with cement and stone. If left full for too long, they can pollute the surrounding environment.
There are no outlets in a cesspit, meaning the waste sits inside the tank, however there is plumbing to release the gases that build up over time.
Cesspools require pumping more often than septic tanks and are often seen as a temporary sewage system.
In some instances, cesspools can be fitted with an alarm that notifies the owner when the chamber is at maximum capacity and needs pumping.
However, this must be done by experts, such as our drainage engineers, as cesspits release toxic gases when the lid is removed.
