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 bring the septic tank's access lids up to ground level so the tank can be pumped and inspected without digging each time. Adding risers with secure, child-proof lids is an inexpensive upgrade that saves money on every future service visit and makes inspections faster and cleaner.
