Risers bring your tank access up to ground level so the lid is easy to find and uncover. They eliminate the digging fee on every future pump and protect your yard. One install, lifetime savings.
About riser & lid installation in Old Town
Old Town is a residential area in northern Winston-Salem. Larger-lot properties along Reynolda Road and toward Bethania are still on private septic.
Old Town and Reynolda-area homes often have well-maintained systems but expect 1,000–1,250 gallon tanks given the lot sizes.
Why a riser pays for itself
Your tank lid likely sits 6–24 inches underground. Without a riser, every pump in Old Town carries a $75 digging fee — and the inconvenience of locating and uncovering the lid. A one-time riser install at $250 brings the lid up to ground level for good.
Over a typical ownership window in Old Town, a riser saves the digging fee on every future pump and protects your yard.
