Septic tank risers are essential to a septic system as they provide several advantages for homeowners. They provide easy access for maintenance when needed, inspections during property transfers, and emergency situations. Risers also help serve as reminders for maintenance pumping. When properly installed and secured, they can promote safety and help prevent contamination.
Example of how risers can help homeowners and your septic service provider. Recently, there was an emergency on the weekend, with the client having a septic backup in their home. Our technician arrived at the home on a Saturday evening and located the tank. The tank was three feet in the ground!! It took the technician an extra hour to call in a second crew member to bring out the excavator to gain access to the tank—all the while, their septic waste was backed up in their home. The machine and operator cost the homeowner an extra $800.00! If the septic had risers installed previously, that $800 would not have been spent on just gaining access to the tank, and it would have saved them at least an hour. We cannot express enough how advantageous risers are to a homeowner because emergencies are never planned.
