What are cesspools?

Cesspools are sealed underground tanks used to store sewage. Their required size varies based on the size of the property and its usage, but regardless of capacity, they must be emptied frequently.

As the sewage is stored rather than treated, you will need a licensed sewage contractor to handle maintenance and pumpouts. BSA has extensive experience in installing and maintaining cesspools, and we can advise you on the most appropriate system for your needs.

If you have a cesspool tank that requires emptying or are interested in having one installed, please contact us today.

When may you need a cesspool?

Cesspools are usually the last option to consider for sewage treatment. Sometimes, they are the only choice when needing a private sewage system away from the mains. Cesspools are needed when the ground conditions aren’t suitable for other options. Another reason to choose a cesspool is when the proximity of local water courses prevents the use of other private systems, such as septic tanks and soakaways.

Nik and his team were helpful, quick and efficient. We asked three companies to quote, and BSA were the only one with transparent pricing and who communicated openly and clearly. The job was completed on time and as described, with minimal fuss and disruption. If the need arose again (hope it doesn't!), we wouldn't hesitate to call BSA. Five stars are rightly deserved.

We were very luck to find Nick. We needed to install a new septic tank and drainage works when we just moved in. A one stop solution who was sensibly priced. I enjoyed the professional and hands on approach from Nick. He's done a lot of work across Warwickshire and West Midlands. A clear start and finish date and was set following a free survey. Peace of mind for sure. He will be back once a year to tidy up the ditches and check the septic tanks

Once again an absolute delight to deal with Nik who came to do the service on my treatment plant. Nik is courteous, informative and smiled throughout the service, despite him being out in the freezing weather! Thanks again for everything. I would have absolutely no qualms in recommending BSA to anyone.

BSA Environmental have looked after us for over 20 years and have recently installed a new sewage treatment plant. Their service has always been excellent, prompt and courteous. I would strongly recommend them.

BSA Environmental provide a great service. They installed our water treatment tank in 2015 and it has worked faultlessly since. They remind us annually on the option of having it inspected and drained which is an easy non-fuss operation - you just leave them to get on with it. A really friendly and efficient business. Highly recommended.
