Preparing Your Septic System for Winter on Long Island

Pump Before the Ground Freezes

Fall is an ideal time to have your system pumped, since accessing and servicing a cesspool becomes harder once the ground freezes. Getting ahead of winter means you are less likely to face an emergency during the coldest months when service is more difficult.

Protect Against Freezing

Fix any leaky fixtures before winter, since a steady trickle of water can freeze in the pipes leading to your system. If parts of your system are shallow or exposed, adding a layer of mulch or insulation over the area can help protect against hard freezes.
