How a buried tank gets found
- Checking county permit records and the house's sewer cleanout for direction
- Probing the soil along the line from the house
- Using an electronic locator or a camera pushed down the line when probing isn't enough
- Marking the tank and lids so you have a record for next time
Why add risers
A riser is a short pipe of plastic or concrete that brings the tank opening up to ground level with a locking lid. Without one, every pump-out starts with digging, which adds time and cost. With one, the crew opens the lid and pumps.
Risers also make it easy to check the effluent filter and baffles between pumpings, and a secure, locking lid keeps kids and pets safe. If your property in Quail Valley, Romoland or Homeland has buried lids, risers usually pay for themselves within a few pump-outs.
Good times to add them
- During your next septic pumping, when the lids are already uncovered
- Before selling, so the buyer's inspection goes smoothly
- When a lid is cracked, rusted or sinking
Common questions
How deep are septic tanks in Menifee?
Most lids are a few inches to a couple of feet down, but older or regraded lots can be deeper. The crew will know once the tank is located.
Do risers need a permit?
Adding risers and lids is normally treated as routine maintenance. Ask the crew to confirm current Riverside County requirements for your property.
