    A Cesspit

    A cesspit is a sealed tank that does not have any outlet pipework. It is designed to simply store waste, rather than treating it like septic tanks do. Cesspits do not employ a drainage field and must be emptied at regular intervals by a tanker using suction.

    In most cases, the waste will go to a sewage treatment plant to be treated before being dispersed through irrigation or going into rivers or the sea. It is best to empty your cesspit as soon as possible to prevent the waste liquid from overflowing into your property. The average cost of emptying a cesspit depends on the size of the tank.

    A cesspit is a sealed tank that does not have any outlet pipework

    A cesspit is a sealed tank that does not have any outlet pipework, so it is not connected to the mains drainage system, the sewage system, or a septic tank. It simply stores your household’s waste in an underground tank until the tank is full and has to be emptied.

    The problem with this type of waste disposal setup is that it can cause health problems for those living on the property if it isn’t looked after properly.

    If you’re looking at buying somewhere which might have a cesspit in place then you’ll need to know how they work and what could go wrong with them if left alone for too long.

    They do not employ a drainage field and must be emptied at regular intervals by a tanker using suction.

    If you have a cesspit, it is likely that the waste will not flow into a drainage field. Instead, it must be emptied at regular intervals by a tanker using suction.

    Cesspits that do not employ a drainage field are often referred to as ‘wet’ or ‘septic’, and their contents need to be removed regularly by specialist tankers in order to avoid any health risks to humans or animals drinking from nearby sources such as wells and streams.

    Where does the waste go?

    In most cases, the waste will go to a sewage treatment plant to be treated before being dispersed through irrigation or going into rivers or the sea. This is done as part of a system called ‘the sewerage’ which takes care of all household and commercial wastewater.

    Cesspits are not designed to treat waste; they are designed to store it until it can be removed safely (by tanker using suction).

    Don’t let the waste liquid overflow into your property

    • It is best to empty a cesspit as soon as possible to prevent the waste liquid from overflowing into your property.

    • If it is left too long, the liquid could overflow into your property, causing damage to both yourself and your septic tank, potentially leading to further problems down the line.

    • Cesspits can also cause environmental damage if they are not emptied regularly and correctly; this includes unpleasant smells as well!

    How much does it cost to empty a cesspit?

    The cost of emptying a cesspit varies depending on where you live, but the average cost is between £225 and £400. This includes labour, equipment hire (if necessary), disposal fees, and any other associated costs.
