If you’ve ever had to pay a surcharge for a “dig fee” during your septic pump, you know how frustrating it can be to hunt for buried lids. For many homes in the 951 area, the septic tank is buried 12 to 24 inches underground, requiring back-breaking labor just to access it for maintenance.
At Davis Plumbing, we recommend septic riser installation as the #1 upgrade for any Riverside County homeowner. Here is why this simple addition is a game-changer.
What is a Septic Riser?
A riser is a plastic or concrete pipe that extends from the opening of your septic tank up to the surface of the ground. It is capped with a heavy-duty, watertight lid that sits flush with your lawn or slightly above the mulch.
The Benefits of Installing Risers
- No More Digging: When it’s time for your septic service near me, the technician can simply unscrew the lid and start the process. No more holes in your beautiful lawn.
- Easier Inspections: If you suspect a problem, you can easily pop the lid to check for high water levels without calling in a backhoe.
- Emergency Access: During a backup, every minute counts. Having a visible septic riser allows our team at Davis Plumbing to get to work immediately, even in the dark or during a storm.
- Saves Money: Most septic companies charge extra to locate and dig up a tank. A riser pays for itself over the course of just two or three pump-outs.
Are They Safe?
Modern risers are designed with safety in mind. They feature secondary safety screens to prevent accidental falls and locking lids to keep children and pets out. They are incredibly durable and can withstand the weight of a lawnmower passing over them.
