A septic tank riser is a pipe that creates a vertical portal to the septic tank from the ground level, allowing for more easy access for maintenance and repairs. They are typically made of concrete, plastic, or fiberglass. If you have an underground tank in your yard, it’s worthwhile to have your septic service install one for you. Consider the following benefits that make it worth the investment.

Why Install Septic Tank Risers?

1. Save Money

Installing the riser has the initial cost of material and labor. Once these costs are paid, it will not require any further maintenance, and the riser will quickly pay for itself over time. The tank needs to be inspected annually, and septic tank pumping must be done once every three to five years. If your septic service doesn’t have to dig to access the tank each time, you’ll have much lower labor costs for all of your maintenance services.

2. Easy Septic Service

Digging to reach a septic tank makes maintaining it or addressing a potential problem an involved process. With the riser, it’s as simple as opening up the access port to the tank. That convenient access will make keeping to a consistent maintenance schedule much easier for you, and you’ll be more likely to have the annual inspection completed. If there’s any trouble, such as a clog, looking into it is simple.

3. Maintain Landscaping

Digging up your yard to reach the tank is highly damaging to your landscaping. Your septic service will have to dig through your lawn, and if you don’t know exactly where the access port is, they may have to dig up a significant portion of your yard. A tank riser can be subtly tucked away in your yard behind some shrubbery, and you can ensure that your yard and landscaping features aren’t disturbed.
