Camp Pendleton septic service splits between on-base infrastructure (handled by base contracting and Lincoln Military Housing) and off-base rentals on the rural edges of Fallbrook and east Oceanside where active-duty families lease properties on private septic. The off-base rental side is our service zone, landlord-direct billing with PCS-cycle inspection reports.. North Coastal riser installs are common during routine pumping in the rural east.
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. We 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. We also offer green and tan lid colors to blend with most yards.
