If you’ve ever watched a septic technician spend an hour digging up your lawn just to find the opening to your tank, you’ve probably wondered if there’s a better way. The answer is a septic riser.
For homeowners in the 951 area, installing a riser is one of the smartest upgrades you can make to your septic system.
What is a Septic Riser?
A septic riser is a plastic or concrete pipe that extends from the opening of your septic tank up to ground level. Instead of your tank’s lid being buried 12 to 24 inches underground, the riser brings the access point to the surface, covered by a heavy-duty, secure lid.
Why You Should Install One
-
Lower Maintenance Costs: Most companies charge a “dig fee” to locate and uncover your tank lids. With a riser, that fee disappears forever.
-
Easier Inspections: Regular septic system maintenance is much easier when you can simply unscrew a lid to check the levels.
-
Emergency Access: If your system backs up in the middle of a rainstorm or during the winter, you don’t want to be digging through mud to find your tank. A riser allows for immediate service.
-
Protects Your Landscaping: Stop digging holes in your beautiful lawn every three years. A riser lid can be easily camouflaged with a decorative rock or plants.
Is it Safe?
Modern risers are designed with safety in mind. They feature secondary safety screens and “lock-tight” lids to ensure that children or pets cannot accidentally access the tank.
