How does Solana Beach's climate affect this service?
Solana Beach is mostly city sewer through the Santa Fe Irrigation District and connected infrastructure. The rare private-septic exceptions are pre-1970 hillside properties on the Lomas Santa Fe corridor and older estate properties on the eastern edges. Coastal soils stay damp and water tables run higher in winter, favoring shorter pump intervals on any septic-served properties.. Coastal riser installs are common on older properties where lids have settled below sand and groundcover.
How tall do my risers need to be?
Risers should bring the lid to within 1-2 inches of grade, flush enough to mow over, high enough to keep surface water out of the tank. The pros we send measure depth at the job and stack riser sections to fit. Most installs need 6-18 inches of riser stack.
Will risers stick up and look ugly?
No, when sized correctly. The lid sits flush or just above grade and can be set in mulch, low groundcover, or stepping-stone landscaping. Green and tan lid colors are also available to blend with most yards.
