Underground Plastic Septic Tanks

Underground septic tanks are also referred to as sewer tanks, below ground septic tanks, waste holding tanks, cesspool tanks, cesspits, bulk sewage tanks, and black water tanks. They are used to contain human waste, sewage, and blackwater. These septic tanks are designed for use in residential and commercial settings where local municipalities have not run sewer pipes. They provide the foundation of septic systems for stationary dwellings such as houses, hunting camps, cabins, and cottages. They also serve as the sole sewage containment vessel for recreational vehicles and trailer homes. Septic tanks are not intended to contain or transport potable water, and are not FDA- approved for this purpose.

These sewage tanks are manufactured by Norwesco, Ace Roto-Mold, and Snyder. High-density virgin polyethylene resin is rotationally molded to create these plastic septic tanks. The rotational molding process generates seamless, durable, and impact resistant tanks. UV inhibitors are added during production that protect the tank from sun degradation so it can be used outdoors. These septic tanks are intended for burial underground or in a man-made mound as part of a septic system.

Since each septic tank is made from plastic, they are lightweight and much easier to install than fiberglass or concrete septic tanks. They come in yellow, black, light green, and grey. These plastic sewage tanks will safely withstand a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions. These properties have given the tanks a long useful lifespan.

Underground septic tanks are available in sizes ranging from 200 gallons up to 1500 gallons. An inlet and outlet may be added to tanks sized 200 gallons to 500 gallons for $75.00. Manufacturers will install 4” inlet and outlet plumbing kits for the septic tanks when requested. A 4” inlet and outlet is a standard feature on tanks sized 750 gallons to 1500 gallons. Each plastic sewage tank comes with a lid, and manway extensions and risers may be added if desired. Every septic tank is also covered by a manufacturer's three year warranty.
