When it comes to the types of waste water treatment system your home has, it helps to know the differences between a cesspool and a septic tank.  First Quality Building & Design, Inc., in Waimanalo, Hawaii, specializes in educating clients about the following types of waste water systems:

Cesspool  

• It’s a deep pit, lined with concrete or block, that captures waste water from a home or building.  
• The water is untreated and can seep directly into ground water. 

Septic Tank 

• The tanks come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are connected to a leach field. 
• It receives and treats waste water by removing the solid waste and only allowing the liquid effluent to seep into the ground.

If you’re currently using a cesspool and want to make the switch to a septic tank, the septic system service professionals at First Quality Building & Design, Inc. are your best resources to determine the right model for your home.

As licensed installers of waste water systems, you can be assured that your final choice will meet local regulations and codes.
