Murphy's Cesspool & Septic Service

A drywell is an absorption system covered under ground commonly in a cylinder shape. Drywell cylendars are usually a tall concrete made product with holes in the side and an open bottom. Usually drywells are installed by digging a deep hole near the septic tank and fixing the drywell in it. Grate is usually dumped around outside of the drywell and a lid put on the top. The drywell is then connected to the septic tank with piping and everything is covered with soil. Runoff enters the drywell from the septic tank and then exits out the holes in the side and soaks into the soil that surrounds it. Drywells are constructed using bricks and given an upside-down cone shaped structure. Once constructed, it’s covered with soil. There are also some drywells that come with lids at the top of the cone. The lid is often accessible from the ground surface for pumping or visual inspections.  Dry wells are the most commonly used drainage structures that easily leach rain water from parking lots, roads
