Parts of a Septic Tank
Concrete Septic Tank
Concrete septic tanks are heavy and have no risk of floating. When taken care of properly, a concrete tank can last several decades. They can tolerate weight above them without cracking or shifting. The downside to cement septic tanks are they are quite costly to install and all repairs and maintenance use heavy, unwieldly machinery. They also have the risk of corrosion and developing cracks in the cement.
Steel Septic Tank
Steel tanks are the least popular type of septic tank available. They have a high risk of corrosion and only last up to 25 years. If the cover of a steel septic tank rusts there is a risk of someone falling in. In the case of a rusted steel septic tank cover, you can replace just the steel cover.
Fiberglass Septic Tank
A fiberglass septic tank is a step up from a plastic septic tank. They do not have the risk of cracking or bending like a plastic septic tank, they are non corrosive and are significantly cheaper than a cement tank.
Plastic Septic Tank
Plastic tanks are one of the top two septic tanks people use. One of the biggest advantages to having a plastic septic tank installed is the price. They can be quite durable and last for many years but they have the risk of cracking or bending with too much weight on the earth above or items that don't belong in the septic tank.
Aerobic Septic Tank
An aerobic septic tank is a high tech septic tank that uses electricity to help decompose the waste inside the septic tank. In Florida, it is a smart choice since it does not have the risk of floating. The downside to an aerobic tank is the price, it is 2-3 times as much as other choices. They also require continuous and religious maintenance.
