All Clear Septic and Wastewater Services has experience working with customers with cesspools on their properties. Cesspools are only found servicing older properties because other more efficient means of waste treatment are now available. A cesspool is a pit which acts as both a settling chamber for solids and a leaching system for liquids. The use of cesspools may overload the capacity of the soil to remove bacteria, viruses, and phosphorus, and to nitrify ammonia and organic nitrogen compounds. Massachusetts State requirements do not necessitate cesspools to be replaced however they do need to be maintained or if they exhibit signs of hydraulic failure, are located extremely close to private or public water supplies, or otherwise fail to protect or pose a threat to public health, safety or the environment they will need to be upgraded. We provide cesspool services and repairs and have also done cesspool replacements when required. Ongoing maintenance of a cesspool is especially important because to sustain the integrity of the environment you need to ensure your cesspool is operating correctly and the surrounding area is not saturated by having your cesspool serviced and having pumpouts. Today we have appointments for both cesspool repairs and services in Hingham, Scituate, Hanover, Hanson and Halifax MA. If you have a cesspool and need cesspool service, cesspool repairs or have any questions please do contact our Norton office on 508-763-4431 or visit www.allclearseptic.com
