If you have a client looking for a septic tank solution on their property, there are many good reasons to offer them a concrete variant. Concrete septic tanks are cost-effective and are known for their long lifespans. Cobro Concrete explains the benefits of going with concrete for your next septic tank installation.  

The Benefits of Concrete Septic Tanks

Why choose concrete septic tanks? These strong, sturdy tanks offer the following advantages:

  • Durability and longevity: Concrete septic tanks are much stronger than other materials such as plastic or fibreglass. One of these tanks can last for 40 years or more if properly maintained.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Concrete tanks can be more expensive upfront than their fibreglass or plastic equivalents, but they make up for this time because they require far less maintenance.
  • Environmental benefits: Concrete septic tanks are corrosion-proof and impermeable, and they also have a low carbon footprint.

Installation and Maintenance of Concrete Septic Tanks

The benefits mentioned above are most likely to be realised if proper installation procedures are followed. The ground should be properly levelled and compacted before the tanks are positioned, and there should be enough drainage on all sides of the tank to avoid water buildup and flooding. Cobro Concrete provides full guidelines and support for the installation of all our septic tanks.

Concrete septic tanks require minimal maintenance, but they should be regularly checked and pumped to prevent blockages and ensure proper functioning. There should be no trees in the immediate vicinity, as the roots can often intrude. If trees are already present, the tank may need to be inspected more frequently to clear any root growth and intrusion if it should occur. With minimal maintenance steps and checks, concrete septic tanks should last for years without any trouble or interruptions.
