What Are Septic Tank Risers?
A septic tank riser is a vertical extension—typically made from high-density polyethylene or PVC—that attaches to your tank’s access opening and extends upward to the soil surface. It creates a permanent, watertight shaft from the tank lid to grade level, finished with a locking or bolted cover. Risers eliminate the need to excavate your yard for every service call, giving both homeowners and service technicians instant, safe entry to the tank.
Benefits of Septic Tank Riser Installation
- Without a riser, accessing your septic tank requires digging up soil, which can damage your landscaping and take time. Risers bring the tank’s access point to the surface, making pump-outs, inspections, and repairs quick and hassle-free.
- Easier access reduces labor costs for routine maintenance and inspections, saving you money over time and helping prevent costly system failures.
- Risers allow technicians to quickly inspect the tank’s interior, enabling early detection of issues like sludge buildup or component damage.
- In a septic emergency, such as a backup or overflow, risers provide rapid access to the tank, minimizing damage and downtime.
- By eliminating the need for repeated excavation, risers preserve your lawn and landscaping, maintaining your property’s appearance.
Our Septic Riser Installation Process
- We locate your existing tank and determine optimal riser placement, taking into account grade, landscaping, and local code requirements.
- Our team safely uncovers the tank lid and inspects the sealing surface, ensuring it’s free of debris and structurally sound for a watertight connection.
- We bond the riser ring to the tank opening using industry-approved sealants and fasteners. Risers are cut to precise heights and backfilled neatly with native soil.
- A durable, locking riser cover is installed flush with the ground. We test for a secure seal and proper fit, then restore the site so your lawn looks untouched.
- Final inspection & documentation once complete, we provide you with an installation report, manufacturer warranties, and tips on riser maintenance. So you know exactly what to expect in years ahead.

Frequently Asked Question
What is the benefit of installing a septic tank riser?
A riser brings your septic tank access point to ground level, making pumping and inspections easier and safer. It also prevents soil erosion around the lid, extending the life of your system and reducing maintenance costs.
How long does it take to install a septic tank riser?
Installation typically takes 2–4 hours, depending on the tank depth and site conditions. Our team works quickly to install durable risers that blend with your property’s landscape.
Will a riser installation disturb my yard?
We minimize disruption by using precise excavation techniques and restoring the area afterward. The process is designed to keep your yard intact, especially important for aesthetic properties.
Do I need a permit for a riser installation?
In most cases, a permit isn’t required for riser installation alone, but we check local regulations to ensure compliance. If additional work is needed, we’ll handle any permitting requirements for you.
How do I know if my tank needs a riser?
If your tank lid is buried deep, making access difficult, or if you notice water pooling around the site, a riser may be needed. Our inspection service can determine if it’s the right upgrade for your system.
