Septic Tank Risers & Lids

Septic tank risers are pipes that extend from the surface of your yard to the septic tank that is located underground. This riser connects to your tank’s pump-out openings or the access port. These risers allow you to have access to your septic tank to inspect or pump it out without digging up your yard to do so.  When you need to ensure that your tank is well protected, having a proper septic lid is a great way to go. These go alongside your risers in order to access the internal part of the tank.

Septic Tank Lids in Carbondale, IL

Septic tank risers & lids must be made in order to handle the elements. This means that these risers are usually made from plastic or concrete so that they will not degrade over time. At Skelcher-Milani Septic Service, we utilize Jet risers in order to make sure that your system is getting a high-quality riser.

Septic Baffles

Septic baffles are parts of the septic tank that are located at the junctions where pipes enter and exit the tank. There is one at the inlet pipe, which is called the inlet baffle, as well as one at the outlet called the outlet baffle. The outlet baffle is considered to be the most important baffle. This is because it keeps solids from exiting the septic tank and making their way into the leach field. If they were to get into the leach field, they could clog up and destroy the entire leach field system. Preventing this issue can save you tons of money in order to replace it, which is why having a properly functioning outlet baffle is crucial for your septic system.

When it comes to the materials that septic baffles are typically made out of, this commonly is either concrete or PVC plastic. The PVC plastic baffles tend to last longer when compared to concrete, especially on the outlet side. You can also ask your septic contractor about getting an effluent filter placed inside of the outlet baffle in order to increase the effectiveness of keeping solids out of the leach field.

Remember, every septic system has risers, lids, and baffles. If your system’s accessory pieces break, or you want to upgrade your current ones, our team at Skelcher-Milani is able to help. Make sure you give our team a call today for more information about the accessories that we have available.
