A septic riser is a vertical extension that connects your tank’s access lid to ground level, allowing for quick and easy access without excavation. If your system is buried deep, every pumping or inspection means digging through dirt and rock, which adds labor costs and delays.
With a properly installed riser, you can:
Whether you’re installing a new tank or upgrading an existing one, adding a riser is a smart investment in long-term savings and system care.
Not all risers are the same, especially when it comes to Southern Arizona’s heat and dry, shifting soil. We install rugged, watertight risers made from high-quality materials that resist UV damage, ground movement, and weather-related wear.
Our risers are:
At Gross Septic Pumping, we make riser installation quick, affordable, and tailored to your property’s layout—so your system stays protected and easy to maintain.
Installing a riser may seem simple, but doing it correctly ensures long-term function, safety, and easier maintenance. At Gross Septic Pumping, we install every riser with precision, making sure it’s the right fit for your tank, built to last, and sealed against the elements.
Here’s what our riser installation process includes:
We begin by identifying your tank’s access point and verifying compatibility with riser materials and shapes. Whether your tank is concrete or poly, round or square, we make sure the riser will align and seal properly.
If your tank access is buried, we carefully dig to expose the lid, avoiding utility lines and minimizing disruption to your yard. We make sure the area is clear and stable for a secure riser installation.
We match the correct riser height and diameter to your tank and desired ground-level access. All risers are built with durable, UV-resistant materials that hold up against Arizona’s heat and soil movement.
A watertight seal is essential to keep out dirt, rainwater, and pests. We use gasketed or adhesive-sealed lids and riser rings that prevent odors and protect your tank from contamination.
Once installed, we backfill and grade the area for a clean, level finish. The riser is capped with a low-profile, secure lid that blends with your landscape and makes future access easy.
Before we leave, we walk you through how your riser works, when to check it, and what to expect during your next service call. Our goal is to make your system easier and less expensive to manage long-term.
