Frequently Asked Septic Tank Questions

1. Can I install a septic tank under a driveway?

• No, installing the plastic septic tank under a driveway is not permitted and will void the warranty. Do not locate tanks beneath driveways or in the pathway of heavy or vehicular traffic areas.

2. Is there a sand/gravel mixture recommended for bedding/backfill?

• Yes, the sand/gravel mixture, commonly called “pea gravel” mixture is recommended. (See Installation Instructions Above)

3. Can I use a septic tank above ground?

• Underground plastic septic tanks are designed for below ground use only. Using the tanks above ground can result in deformation of the tank. It is far more cost-effective to utilize an above ground storage tank that is specifically designed for above ground use and applications.

4. Can hot water be stored in plastic septic tanks?

• Do not subject the tank to water temperature higher than 100 deg F. Polyethylene storage tanks have a maximum storage temperature of 120 deg F. Contents with a temperature in excess of 120 def F, even for a short period of time, can weaken the tank’s structural integrity and make it susceptible to deformation and failure.

5. How do you access underground plastic septic tanks?

• Each plastic septic tank comes equipped with manhole access hatches (1 or 2 depending on tank). In addition, risers can be added to the top of the tank providing ground level access. Without a riser you would need to dig up the soil above the manway to gain accessibility.

6. Can I pick up a plastic septic tank nearby?

• In many cases yes. To pick up a plastic septic tank and save on freight, requires you placing your order. Upon being notified that the tank is ready for pick-up, we will provide you with a 6 digit trip # which allows you go and pick up your tank M-F 8:30 am - 2:00 pm. We and the local manufacturers appreciate the opportunity to provide local pick up and the cooperation required for the process to be efficient.
