risers & Lids

Septic tank risers and lids are designed to replace existing metal, fiberglass, and concrete covers. Septic tank risers and lids are installed to elevate below-ground septic tank openings to above-ground level.


These installations are particularly crucial for standard septic tanks, especially older models that typically lack risers. Most risers measure eight to twenty-four inches in diameter. Risers are instrumental in facilitating access to the septic tank for inspection, maintenance, repair, and pumping. Think of it as an investment in your septic tank's future maintenance.


AdeptSeptic Services specializes in septic riser installation in Michigan. The length of the riser is customized based on the depth at which the septic tank is situated below the ground.


The riser is capped with a secure lid, covering its opening. By extending directly from the lawn's surface to the septic tank, the riser streamlines the process of accessing the tank, eliminating the need for locating and digging around the septic tank. This convenience facilitates more manageable maintenance and inspection by homeowners or professional technicians.

septic tank RISERS & Cover Questions

01 Do i need a septic tank riser?

Enhancing your septic system with the installation of septic tank risers is a strongly endorsed upgrade. This addition simplifies the upkeep and surveillance of your septic system and adds convenience to the entire process.


Being one of the more costly components on your property, the septic system often remains among the least monitored and understood systems around. Investing in septic tank risers offers a practical solution to bridge this gap, providing easier access for maintenance and monitoring and ultimately contributing to the longevity and efficiency of your valuable septic system.

02 what are the advantages of installing septic tank covers?

Installing septic tank risers provides several advantages that enhance your septic system's efficiency and ease of maintenance.


Accessibility and Convenience

Septic tank risers significantly improve accessibility to your septic system. Extending the tank's access point to ground level makes routine tasks such as inspection, pumping, and general maintenance more convenient. This eliminates the need for extensive digging, making the entire process less labor-intensive and time-consuming.


Cost-Effective Maintenance

The ease of access provided by septic tank risers translates to cost savings in maintenance. Routine inspections and timely pumping are essential for a healthy septic system. With risers in place, professionals can efficiently perform these tasks, reducing the time spent on each service visit and potentially lowering associated costs.


Increased Lifespan of the Septic System

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity of your septic system. With septic tank risers facilitating easy access, it becomes more likely that homeowners and professionals will adhere to recommended maintenance schedules. This proactive approach can contribute to an extended lifespan for the septic system, reducing the likelihood of major repairs or replacements.


Reduced Environmental Impact

Efficient maintenance, made possible by septic tank risers, helps minimize the environmental impact of septic systems. Regular pumping and inspections prevent leaks or overflows, reducing the risk of contaminating nearby soil and water sources. This proactive stance aligns with environmental stewardship, promoting a healthier ecosystem around your property.


Property Aesthetics

Septic tank risers eliminate the need for extensive excavation when accessing the septic system. This preservation of the landscape contributes to the overall aesthetics of your property. Without the necessity for frequent digging, your lawn remains intact, enhancing the visual appeal of your outdoor space.

03 how do you repair a broken septic tank cover?

It is strongly advised against driving over your septic tank, as doing so can significantly damage the cover or lid. This practice is never recommended due to the potential harm it can cause to the essential components of your septic system. In the unfortunate event that your septic riser cover becomes broken, damaged, or goes missing, AdeptSeptic Services offers a reliable solution.


Driving over a septic tank poses a severe risk to the structural integrity of the cover or lid, which plays a crucial role in safeguarding the tank's contents and ensuring the system's proper functioning. The cover is a protective barrier, preventing debris, soil, and external elements from infiltrating the septic tank, thereby maintaining efficiency.


AdeptSeptic Services specializes in replacing septic riser covers that have been compromised due to external factors such as vehicular traffic or other forms of physical impact. It is essential to address any issues promptly to prevent further damage to the septic system. The replacement process involves fitting a durable and secure cover onto the septic riser, ensuring the entire septic system's continued protection and optimal performance.
