WHAT MAKES A CONCRETE TANK BETTER THAN PLASTIC?
Concrete is significantly more durable than plastic. Concrete tanks last a very long time. With proper maintenance a concrete septic tank will last around 40 years. Concrete septic tanks aren’t as easily by changes to their environment, such as changing soil conditions, tree roots, or other problems. Driving over the soil where a concrete tank was buried will not affect it. Driving over a plastic tank or tree roots can warp or break a plastic tank.
Because concrete tanks are so resilient, concrete septic tanks tend not to need as much maintenance as plastic ones. Talk with us about the price too, it may surprise you just how affordable a high quality concrete tank is.

I DON'T HAVE HEAVY EQUIPMENT HOW DO WE SET THEM?
Leave moving the tank to us. We will set the tank in the ground, the installer just needs to be there to oversee the installation.
You dig, we set.
