Septic Systems have been installed since the late 1800's replacing the old outside facility known as the outhouse. A septic system is a mini onsite sewage treatment system used when municipal sewers are not available. Depending on the age of your home, septic Systems on Long Island usually consist of a primary receiver (septic tank) and a drainage area (cesspool or drainage field). Homes constructed after 1973, will have a septic tank as the primary receiver while homes built prior to 1973 will have a cesspool as the primary receiver. (All homeowners residing in homes built prior to 1973 be sure to read the article on block construction cesspools on the home page) If properly installed and maintained on a regular basis, your septic system will provide many years of trouble free service.
