Septic Tank Risers For The East Valley
Get A New Septic Tank Riser For Your System
Newer septic systems typically include risers, but older ones may not. Installing new septic tank risers eliminates digging, preserves your landscaping, and saves you money, time, and future hassle.
Septic tank risers are a smart, long-term upgrade for homeowners who want easier access to their septic system and lower maintenance costs. Older tanks often require digging for every pump-out, wasting time and damaging landscaping. Installing risers brings access to ground level, making routine service faster, cleaner, and more affordable. We recommend adding risers before you do landscaping. Once they're installed, maintenance only requires removing a few lids, keeping the process quick and non-invasive.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
Septic Tank Risers
What Materials Are My Septic Tank Risers Made Out Of?
Our septic tank risers are designed with safety and durability in mind. Each lid is made from high-strength poly-HDPE, offering top-tier UV protection to withstand Arizona’s intense sun without warping or wearing down. For add security, the lids are fastened with square drive screws that help prevent unauthorized access, and each includes a foam gasket to ensure an airtight and watertight seal.
What Riser Sizes Are Compatible With My Septic Tank?
Risers are available in 18″ and 24″ sizes. Homes built between the 1970s and mid-1990s often have 18″ risers for one-compartment tanks. Today’s standard is the 24″ riser, which is compatible with both one- and two-compartment systems. For homes with two compartments, it’s important to install risers on both the inlet and outlet sides for proper access.
Why Are Septic Tank Risers Important For Filter Maintenance?
An additional reason to install septic tank risers on a two-compartment tank is the presence of an effluent filter in the outlet baffle. To prevent backups, remove and clean the effluent filter once or twice a year. Since the filter protects your disposal field from solids, easy access via risers makes this maintenance step more convenient and cost-effective.

Are There Heavy-Duty Traffic-Rated Septic Tank Risers?
Traffic-rated septic tank risers withstand heavy weight and pressure from vehicular traffic thanks to their robust design. These risers attach securely to traffic-rated or reinforced septic tanks. Don’t install traffic-rate risers on regular concrete, poly, or fiberglass septic tanks. In some cases, the septic tank may be located beneath a driveway, parking area, or other areas where vehicles regularly pass over. In these situations, use a traffic-rated septic tank riser. It supports vehicle weight and load without damage or collapsing. Traffic-rated septic tank risers use durable materials like reinforced concrete with steel rings and lids. They handle specific load-bearing capacities- engineered to withstand vehicle traffic pressures and stresses.
