Advantages of Plastic Septic Tanks
Plastic septic tanks offer several advantages over concrete septic tanks, making them a popular choice for residential and commercial applications. Plastic septic tanks are typically more cost-effective due to lower material costs, more convenient transportation, and installation efficiency. Plastic, or more specifically high-density polyethylene, is highly durable, resistant to corrosion and cracking, and will never rust. Plastic is also chemical resistant, so our tanks are unaffected by the chemicals found in sewage and soils. Lastly, our plastic septic tanks are resistant to fluctuating weather conditions and temperatures, allowing them to last for decades.
Key Benefits:
- Strong injection molded polypropylene construction
- Lightweight plastic construction and inboard lifting lugs allow for easy delivery and handling
- Structurally reinforced access ports eliminate distortion during installation and pump-outs
- Reinforced structural ribbing and fiberglass bulkheads offers additional strength
- Can be installed with 6" to 48" of cover
- Can be pumped dry during pump-outs
- Suitable for use as a septic tank, pump tank, or rainwater (non-potable) tank
- Does not require special installation, backfill, or water filling procedures
Plastic Septic Tank Applications
Plastic septic tanks are particularly well-suited for commercial applications, residential applications, new developments, and communities where homes are too remote to connect to municipal sewer lines. They are also ideal for homeowners looking to benefit from the easier transportation and installation plastic offers over traditional concrete septic tanks.
Plastic septic tanks are commonly used for office buildings, restaurants, campgrounds, RV parks, convenience stores, and gas stations. We offer multiple designs, shapes, and sizes to match the needs of almost any business.
Plastic Septic Tanks Promote Sustainability
We pride ourselves as leaders in the use of “green materials” including post-consumer and post-industrial recycled plastics for the manufacturing of products. We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and our reliance on new materials. From manufacturing to the finished product, we take steps to ensure that plastic is the most environmentally friendly choice for our septic tanks. Our plastic tanks are designed with features that optimize the treatment process and reduce the need for pumping and general maintenance, which can have harmful impacts on surrounding environments. Also, a well-maintained plastic septic tank can last for decades, reducing the need for replacements and the associated environmental impact of manufacturing new tanks. By choosing a plastic septic tank and maintaining it properly, you can contribute to a more sustainable wastewater management system for your home, business, or community.
