Benefits of a Septic Tank Riser

Do you have a septic tank riser? Surprisingly, this helpful addition is missing from many septic tanks, especially older models. Read on to discover how a riser can save you time and money.

What is a Septic Tank Riser?

A septic tank riser is a large pipe that runs from the access port at the top of your septic tank to ground level. It provides easy access to your otherwise difficult to reach underground tank. This is particularly useful when you require maintenance work or need an inspection. Professionals don’t have to dig deep into your soil to reach the clean out cover.

The pipes are normally made of concrete or plastic and designed to withstand harsh weather. Risers can be anywhere between 8 to 24 inches in diameter. The length is determined by how deep your tank is underground. A lid secures the opening of the riser, making it safe and easy to locate.

How Do I Get a Riser?

Firstly, you need to locate your septic tank. Our technicians can help with this if you’re not sure where it is! Next, it’s time to dig down to the access port. The lid to the access port is replaced by your new riser. The ground is filled in around the pipe, and a lid is securely placed over the top of the pipe at ground level.

Why Should I Get a Riser?

Although there are initial setup costs, a riser will save you money in the long run. When you have professionals service or inspect your tank, having an access point saves them time. Saving them time means saving you money.

Clear drain is fast and always does a good job. Big or small they get the job done and are reasonably priced.

Highly recommend. Our appointment time was 8:00am Monday morning and Bruce showed up at 7:59. Awesome. And this was the morning after a snowstorm. He was polite, quick and professional. We had two clogged drains which he had cleaned out and left our house before 8:45. I would definitely use them again and suggest them to anyone who needs it.

Friendly, professional, and prompt. Adam fixed the backup and took the extra time to scope out the main flush with the camera to give us peace of mind that the pipes were in good shape.

we have been having issues with water and stuff backing up into our laundry room in the basement. Our company who maintains our septic (ASI) came out and told me to cancel the pumping company that I had coming later that morning. Ken (the ASI man) called Clear Drain for me and set up an appointment for us for 2 hours after he left. Ken told me how amazing this company is and how they will do such a thorough job and that they are priced very well for all that they do. Ken saved me a lot of money and heartache by sending this company out to my house. The gentleman who showed up was so kind, had a great sense of humor (even if he was faking it, I am sure he has heard all of the poop jokes there are to hear), he showed me exactly what needed to be fixed, told me what we can do to keep things moving until we can dig up the spot to our first septic tank, he discovered that we apparently have 2 septic tanks (that was a good laugh), marked in the yard where we needed to dig to have things fixed, told me what the company could do for us but never once pushed anything on me (which makes me want to call them again if we ever have issues). The kind man knew the exact type of tree that I had near the house, was able to tell me about the roots, how often we may or may not to have the pipes cleared, what to ask for in the future so we would know how often to have them cleared. I can't say enough good about these guys, although the issue sucks in the long run, he made me feel not so stressed about it, had me take a picture of the issue so I could show my husband so he would be able to see what is going on. (now I am rambling). I highly recommend this company. They seem to have amazing manners and an even better work ethic.
