Concrete Septic Tanks

Concrete septic tanks allow you to bury the tank much farther down in the ground than poly tanks allow. Great for heavy clay areas.

Septic Tanks start at 800 GAL without a built-in pump chamber or 960 GAL with a chamber.

Risers and accessories are available.

Both Concrete and Poly Septic Tanks have advantages and disadvantages. Below you’ll find some of the comparisons that can help make the best decision for your needs.

Durability: Concrete Septic Tanks tend to be much more durable than Poly Septic Tanks. This is specifically in regards to the weight that they can handle on top of them.

Lifespan: Assuming that you’ll care for both tanks properly, you can expect a lifespan of approximately 40 years for concrete, and 30 years for poly.

Environmental Resistance: Concrete Septic Tanks are less susceptible to changing soil conditions, growing tree routes, compaction, or other factors.

Maintenance: Based on the factors above, Concrete Septic Tanks can require less ongoing maintenance than Poly Septic Tanks.

Cost: Concrete Septic Tanks cost more to purchase and install than Poly Septic Tanks.

Installation: Concrete is heavier and less maneuverable than plastic which leads to longer installation using heavy machinery.

Corrosion: Unlike Poly Septic Tanks, concrete tanks may corrode over time or begin cracking with age. Proper maintenance can help reduce the risk of these issues.
