Septic tank systems are essential for the safe transport of wastewater from your home. If you just moved into a property with a septic system, one of the first steps is to locate it. Tank risers are useful devices that are installed over the system to make them visible to homeowners and septic pumping professionals. Below are a few of the advantages of installing a tank riser.

3 Reasons to Install a Tank Riser

1. Easy Access

Tank risers provide a direct point of access for a professional technician to inspect or pump your septic tank. Rather than having to look for the septic system each time you schedule a service, a riser will make this process more convenient for you and the company.

2. Protect Your Landscape

The lid of a septic tank is buried beneath the surface of the lawn. When a riser is installed, it replaces the lid, so the septic professional does not have to dig each time to access the tank. This protects your landscape from unnecessary excavation that could hurt the grass or leave an unsightly mark on your lawn. 

3. Save Money

Time is money when it comes to septic services. If your technician has to spend a significant portion of their time digging to reach the lid of the septic tank, this will be tacked onto the labor expenses of the quote. By paying a one-time installation fee, you can save money in the long run as this labor expense will no longer be an issue for future services.
