SIDE BY SIDE

With risers vs. without

  • Every pump requires digging

  • No digging for routine service
  • Cleaner, faster pump-outs
  • Pays for itself in 2-3 visits

PRICING

What goes into the price

Riser installs are quoted in writing before we dig. The main cost drivers are depth, number of lids and tank material.

Depth to lid
Deeper tanks need longer riser extensions. Most residential lids are 6 to 18 inches down.
Number of lids
Most tanks have one or two access lids. We price per riser so you only pay for what you need.
Tank material
Concrete, fiberglass and plastic tanks each use different adapter rings. We bring the right parts.
Add a pump
If your tank is due, we can pump and install risers in the same visit and save a trip.

FIELD NOTES // HOW IT WORKS

Your septic system, in plain English.

HOUSEINLETINLET BAFFLESCUM LAYER ~12inSLUDGE LAYER ~12inOUTLETBAFFLEFIELD LINE
  • 01 // INLET

    Everything from your house flows into the tank. Toilets, sinks, laundry, all of it.

  • 02 // SEPARATION

    Solids settle to the bottom as sludge. Grease and lighter waste float as scum. Liquid sits in the middle.

  • 03 // DISCHARGE

    Only the middle liquid layer exits through the outlet baffle into your field line, where the soil filters it.

  • 04 // WHY PUMPING MATTERS

    When sludge or scum gets too thick, solids reach the field line. Field lines plug. Repairs run thousands. Pump every 3 to 5 years and the system lasts decades.

Most single-lid installs are done in under two hours. Two lids or deep tanks may take a bit longer.

Yes, and we recommend it. We expose the lid to pump anyway, so adding risers in the same visit saves on labor.
