When the buried septic tank covers were exposed for inspection, as was required by our mortgage lender for purchasing this house, I asked the seller to leave the tanks uncovered so that I could have risers installed. This would make it easier for inspecting the septic tanks every three years and for pumping them out, when necessary. After consulting with a couple of sanitary system plumbers, I was informed on how risers are installed and told that it was a relatively simple doityourself (DIY) project for an ablebodied homeowner. Given the increasing number of purchases of existing home on the Olympic Peninsula by retirees, and many homes having older septic systems with buried tanks, I decided to record this short DIY video. My wife, Diane, agreed to video record me as I worked on this project, at times dodging flying concrete chips and enduring the pungent odors from the open septic tanks! Diane, you did an outstanding job! I hope that you find this DIY video informative, and like all my YouTube videos, I welcome your comments and criticisms of my first, and hopefully only experience with installing septic tank risers!
