In a lot of older Texas homes, the septic lids are buried a foot or more under the dirt. Every time the tank needs a pump, someone has to dig.
What a riser is
A riser is a tube that sits on top of your tank opening. It comes up to the top of the ground. A lid goes on top. Now you can open the tank without a shovel.
Why people get one
- You stop paying for digging every time
- Your pump visits go faster
- Your yard doesn’t get torn up
- Checks and inspections are easier
A riser often pays for itself after a few visits.
Is it safe?
Yes, when it’s done right. The lid should lock or screw down, so kids and pets can’t open it. Never leave a lid loose.
When to do it
The best time is during a pump-out. The lids are already dug up. We can put the riser on while we’re there.
