Does your home have a septic system? Are you unsure of what a septic system is? Septic Systems have been around since the late 1800’s. They replaced the old outdoor bathroom facilities known as “outhouses”.

A septic system is merely a small onsite sewage treatment system used when municipal sewers are unavailable. Septic systems found on Long Island typically have a primary receiver which is the septic tank and a drainage area or a cesspool.

Homes in Long Island that were built after 1973 consist of a septic tank as the primary receiver. Homes built before 1973 typically have a cesspool as the primary receiver.
