Notes Regarding Septic Tank Riser Installation

By Scott Parker


This is basically a structure with large diameter pipe that is round and it is a few feet above the ground. This structure is placed over sewer chamber cleanout opening to prolong that opening from underground where it is buried to some feet above the ground. This helps pumping companies to not dig so deep in the ground to get to the chamber buried underground. Septic tank riser installation process basically is not a complicated process and one can do it without any professional help.

The following few and simple steps can be followed to have your device installed. There is no reason as to why one should hire a professional person to do the installation job for them since this article can guide one do the job by themselves. The first step is choosing the appropriate material for the job.

The following steps are to be followed if one is to carry out the installation process successfully. First one needs the following items at the site before starting the process. Buy a Tuf-Tite tank ring abbreviated as TAR which is an adapter Ring, get a kit for riser rings, Butyl rope and stainless steel screws. These are just but a few of the items you will need for the job.

The first step is digging down the ground to uncover the buried cleansing tank cleanout cover. You can do this at the outlet and inlet ends of your reservoir. Some people will choose to dig just over the center of septic tank. Once you reach to the reservoir, remove the cleanout cover. Place you riser over this cleanout opening. The diameter of such a structure should be quite big to avoid it falling into the reservoir.

PVC is considered to be more expensive but very light compared to concrete and polyethylene. The second step is deciding where to install your risers. These devices replace tank lids and make it easy to access septic reservoirs. This access can actually be installed above the ground level. In case the area around the structure has long grass, it is good to cut it.

After that is done, firmly press your Tuf-tite tank ring adapter onto your septic tank. Using the drill bit that is included in your kit, drill holes. Your adapter ring will generally have divots of where the holes go. After you are done drilling holes, use blue concrete tapping screws basically to fix your ring on top of your system. The firth step is adding butyl rope to bottom of every riser there is.

If a drainfield is quite deep, that it makes the top of soil trenches more than one foot below surface ground, then these means reduction or minimization of aerobic bacteria in soil will really limit the effectiveness or helpfulness of drainfield in reducing all pathogens and also environment contaminants.

Next is installing or fixing adapter ring. First get rid of existing lid before installing a new one. Fix this new adapter ring in an opening to your putrefying reservoir. This riser will basically attach or be fixed to the ring. Secure ring to the reservoir by using concrete. After this is done fix a lid on top to prevent people and children from falling into reservoir.
