Septic Risers Sydney
Sydney’s only lightweight septic tank riser
Accessing buried septic tanks across Sydney and throughout NSW presents ongoing challenges for property owners and maintenance professionals. Due to the inconvenience posed by buried tanks and the avoidance of excavation to gain access, system maintenance is often neglected, compromising system performance. Our lightweight septic risers revolutionise maintenance practices for Sydney property owners by providing direct, hassle-free access to septic systems.
Nationally tested for NSW conditions
Engineered to address the needs of NSW property owners, our septic tank riser assembly stands as Australia’s only nationally approved lightweight solution. Through our partnership with BioSeptic, we’ve created a system that eliminates the need for excavation by raising the tank access to the ground level, ensuring maintenance can be carried out safely and on schedule.

Designed to meet AS/NZS 1546.1, ensuring every system allows for safe desludging and long-term reliability.

Practical maintenance solution for septic systems across Sydney
For Sydney homeowners and waste management professionals, our riser assembly transforms the maintenance experience by eliminating the hassle of locating, accessing, and servicing septic systems during scheduled maintenance.
The gastight design effectively contains odours, while the watertight construction preserves system integrity by preventing external water infiltration. With the saddle weighing just 22 kg, the lid 9 kg, and the sealing ring 5 kg, both installing and using the riser become remarkably straightforward.

Why do I need a riser?

Well done in bringing this product to the market
Hi Rob. Just wanted to pass on how pleased I am with your tanks. You have bridged the gap with a product that addresses the problems with the light weight poly products and the heavy concrete tanks. You have a brilliant design that will not split or distort as the poly tanks do or delaminate in a corrosive or acidic environment that will destroy any concrete tank. They do not need any heavy lifting equipment to install or transport and have a riser system that can be adjusted to suit the ground level perfectly without the need to position the tank to suit this. A truly brilliant product that will give years of service. Well done in bringing this product to the market. Kind regards, Wayne

The saddle and riser worked out perfectly
The saddle and riser worked out perfectly. Easy to put in place – a brilliant design in it’s simplicity. I’m very happy that I came across you online. The pump out boys (Alexandrina council) we’re seriously impressed too – I’m guessing they’re hoping a lot more people put them in place too (save their backs)!
