SEPTIC TANK RISERS
Key Benefits
- No More Digging
- Easy Access
- Promotes regular maintenance
Our company feels that septic tank risers should
be installed on every tank with a depth of 18" or more. They can be installed
either above the ground or just below the surface. They eliminate virtually all
the labor involved with pumping and maintaining the septic tank and promote
regular maintenance.
Riser products are available in our
online store. You can mix and match many different parts to create just the
right riser system for your tank.
We now carry safety products and locks for the risers as well as
adapter rings to allow you to install them on almost any surface even other
brand risers and corrugated pipe.
- Above Ground Installation
- If your septic tank is in the back of the house or in an area where it is
not visible. Tank risers can be installed up through the surface making your
system maintenance truly labor free. Our risers come with a gaskets built
into the lids to keep the gases inside the tank. Regular septic tank lids
require that they are at a depth of at least 6" to prevent gases from
escaping. Our risers are 18" in diameter to meet the current codes and still
allow the tank to be properly and completely serviced. (In the photo below,
we left one lid partially exposed to show how the lids attach. The finished
product is visible but very easy to access)

- Below the Surface Installation
- Some septic tanks are right outside the front door or patio and often
times in the lawn. Installation of tank risers just below the surface keeps
them out of sight and still allows the grass to grow over top. This type of
installation only requires the grass be peeled back and a very small amount of
digging in order to access the lids. (In the photo below, this is a newly
installed septic tank. When this installation is complete, the risers will be
6" below the surface and not visible.)
-
- In both types of installation, the cost of having the risers installed
verses the cost of the labor to uncover them each time, not to mention the
back breaking pain of doing it yourself, they will usually pay for themselves
within 2 pumping services.

- Installation
- In both the above ground and below surface installations, tank risers
replace the existing tank lids. Their purpose is to bring the access ports of
the septic tank to the surface. They are concreted onto the septic tank
itself both to strengthen and prevent roots from entering the septic tank and
are constructed of a thick, strong, UV protected plastic.
-
- This type of riser, whether used above or below the surface is
not Traffic Rated.
There are other products on the market which are made to support the weight of
a vehicle.
