A Septic Tank Riser is a pipe made of either concrete, plastic or fiberglass that extends from the surface of your yard to your septic tank. A riser gives quick access to your septic system for easy maintenance and pumping. For an additional fee we can install these on your septic tank to prevent the need for digging up your yard for future septic services. Many newer septic systems already have a riser. If this was not initially installed with your tank, the access port to your tank can easily be covered by grass and plants within the 3–5 year time span of the tank requiring pumping services. A riser also protects this access in the event of an emergency.
What are the benefits of a septic tank riser?
There are many benefits for septic tank risers including lower maintenance cost, exact location, and simple access for maintenance. By having a riser, you will avoid additional digging to access your tank system and the process of inspection, pumping or repairs can be completed quickly and tidier. Because risers are a more obvious marker to your yard, it can remind you as the homeowner to avoid driving or parking on top of the location of your tank which can cause damage to your tank over time.
