Installing a septic tank adapter ring is essential for ensuring that your septic tank riser is secure, stable, and fits snugly into the piping of your septic system. This adapter ring provides a safe environment for professionals to access the tank for inspection, maintenance, and pumping. It ensures the riser remains in place without shifting or wobbling, allowing easy access. With an adapter ring, you can rest assured that your septic tank riser will stay securely in place and be ready when needed.
Installing a septic tank adapter ring can help ensure that the septic tank risers and lids are securely attached. The risers are then screwed into place using stainless steel screws, and as many risers can be added as needed to reach the desired height. This way, you can ensure that your septic tank is safely secured and ready for any necessary professional service.
Watertight lids are essential to keep groundwater out of the septic system.
Generally, the existing septic tank cover is removed for ease of access in the future. Depending on the dimensions of the existing lid, this step is often required. Some riser kits provide a watertight seal to the tank and feature a low-profile cover that securely fastens with several screws. A secondary safety barrier is also included with some kits to ensure safe access to the septic tank.
When installing a septic tank riser, the area surrounding your septic tank must be free of debris and weeds. Otherwise, these objects could prevent the riser from sealing the hole properly, allowing groundwater into your system.
Additionally, it’s best to avoid planting trees, bushes, shrubs, and tall decorative grasses near your risers, as these can easily cause damage and obstruction. Furthermore, their strong roots have the potential to penetrate the risers and clog them up.
A few inches above the ground is usually recommended when determining riser height. Having the lid just slightly below grade makes it easier to mow over and less of an eyesore. However, over time, the lid may become covered by grass or other debris.

Save Money on Septic System Inspections and Pumping
Septic systems are essential components of your home’s wastewater system. Maintaining the health and efficiency of your system can save you money in the long run.
Regularly inspecting your system and pumping your septic tank is the best way to identify potential issues before they become costly.
When inspecting your septic tank, a professional will verify all pipes are functioning correctly and that there’s no blockage or other issue with the piping. They will also assess the flow level and condition of your drain field, including whether or not it has a backflow valve.
Installing a septic tank riser kit allows Missouri Septic Services to pump your system without digging out covered access points, saving time and labor.
A septic tank riser will extend to the top of the ground surface and offer visible easy access to the tank opening for servicing inlet and outlet pipes. This is especially helpful if the septic tank access ports are awkward to get to or have a large cover.
Finally, a septic tank riser can help keep your system from overflowing into your yard or contaminating soil. When the system overflows, it poses serious hazards to you and the environment.
