Nationwide U.S. Septic Network Mon–Sun · 7am–9pm Free Matching Service Email Us

Septic Compass is a free service that connects homeowners with licensed local septic companies. We are not a contractor and do not perform septic work.

The short answer

Risers are vertical pipes that bring the tank's access lids up to ground level, so the tank can be pumped and inspected without digging every time. Fitted with secure, child-proof lids, they're an inexpensive upgrade that saves money on every future service visit.
