There are two basic components to a septic systemthe septic tank and the soil absorption cesspool area. If you don't properly service and maintain your system, solids build up in the system and flow into the leaching field, causing the system to fail. This could permanently destroy the field as well. Additionally, household cleaners like detergents, toilet cleaners, bleach, and disinfectants kill the natural bacteria in the septic tank.

The Suffolk County Department of Health Services Office of Wastewater Management may have records of the septic system location for a single-family residence if it was constructed later than 1973. Call the office at (631) 852-5700 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and give them the property tax map number and the year the house was constructed. If the lot is located on a subdivision map, the map name and lot number are also helpful in finding older records.

The septic tank The cesspool (soil absorption area)

Here is the how the septic system works:

Waste flows from the home into the septic tank. Organic solids float to the top and inorganic solids sink to the bottom of the tank. Natural occurring bacteria in the septic tank converts the organic solids to liquid. The clear liquid in between the "solids" and "sludge" layers flows into the cesspool.
