What is a Cesspit?

A cesspit, also known as a cesspool, is a cemented and covered holding tank usually installed underground on a property to collect sewage and wastewater. These are usually built from brick or concrete; however, the most recent variants are made of fiberglass and include an inlet pipe for the waste. Cesspits are built to only hold sewage and not to treat waste. It does not have any other openings except the pipe that enters the chamber for emptying and ventilation. Cesspits must be built at least 7 meters away from any residential buildings/areas and within 30 meters of the road or vehicle access points.

Only professional drainage technicians should empty the tank and perform other maintenance tasks. For experienced and trained cesspit installation, emptying, and cleaning in Auckland, call us.

Importance of Cesspit maintenance

Cesspits are almost always located on off-road sites and are made up of three parts: a grate, a compact chamber, and a sediment trap. The grate on the top allows the wastewater in while also trapping leaves, residue, and debris. The dirt in the water settles at the bottom of the cesspits. Without periodic maintenance, this debris builds up and causes blockages which further compromise the quality of the drainage, resulting in flooding.

The upkeep of cesspits and drainage is also important for the protection of rivers and beaches. So we recommend property owners have their cesspits emptied and cleaned on a regular basis. If your budget allows, you can use hydro-flush to clean the lines. This is an excellent approach to avoid overflowing your cesspits. Our professional drainage technicians can assist you if you are confused about whether you require a standard cesspit clean-up or a whole system flush. Get a free quote by calling us right now.

Responsibilities of a cesspit owner

The maintenance of the cesspit is not a simple matter of household cleaning. If you fail to assure regular cleaning, maintenance, and emptying of a cesspit on your land, it becomes a community or public issue due to the hazards it poses. The local council authority will be involved, penalties will be imposed, and other legalities will be involved. To avoid all of these issues, it is in the owner’s best interest to plan regular cesspit repairs and stay on the right side of the law and protect your health.

Listed below are some of the responsibilities of a cesspit owner.

Prevent environmental pollution and damage by de-sludging and emptying cesspits regularly
Refrain from delaying repairs in the cesspits or septic tanks or connecting drain lines
Make routine check-ups of the area where sewage is released
Plan for annual emptying and clean-up of the cesspit without fail
Set a limit for the system’s discharge into water (5,000 liters of treated sewage per day) and the ground (2,000 liters of sewage per day). In case you need to release more than this standard quantity, you will need a permit from the concerned authorities.
