If your tank lid is buried, every pump-out starts with digging up the lawn. A riser brings the access up to ground level with a secure, child-safe lid.
Most risers are installed right after a pump-out, while the tank is already uncovered.
What’s included
- Excavating to the existing tank opening
- Fitting a sealed riser to ground level
- Secure, bolted or locking lid
- Backfilling and tidying the area
When you need it
- Your lid is buried under the lawn
- You never know where the tank is
- Pump-outs take longer than they should
- You want an easy-access system before selling
How it works
- Request a pump-out — Tell us your town, tank size (if you know it) and when it was last pumped.
- Pick a time — A local operator calls back with a price and the next available slot.
- Done in about an hour — Tank pumped, lids closed, lawn left clean.
What affects the price
Every property is different, so quotes are based on a few things:
- How deep the tank is buried
- Number of openings to raise
- Riser material
- Whether it is done with a pump-out
Request a quote and you’ll get a clear price before anything is booked.
Riser & lid installs — questions
Are risers safe with kids and pets?
Yes. Riser lids are heavy-duty and bolt or lock shut.
Do risers save money?
Over time, yes — no digging means faster and cheaper pump-outs and inspections.
