Above ground septic tank — Concord, NC
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
The final bill for septic work depends on a few specific variables. First, the size of your tank and the total volume of waste removal play a role. We also look at the accessibility of your tank lids; if they are buried deep underground or hidden under landscaping, extra labor is required to reach them. The distance from our truck to the tank also impacts the setup time. Every property has unique plumbing needs, and exact pricing is confirmed free on the call.
About this service
An above ground septic tank is typically used in areas where the soil conditions, such as high water tables or rocky terrain, make traditional underground burial impossible. These systems often require specialized pumps and monitoring equipment to move waste effectively. Because they are exposed, they require specific insulation and protection from the elements to prevent freezing or accidental damage. If you are looking into an above-ground setup, consult with a professional to ensure it meets all local health and safety regulations.

What is a septic tank drain field?
A septic tank drain field, also known as a leach field or absorption field, is a critical component of a septic system in Concord. After wastewater leaves the septic tank, it flows into the drain field, which consists of a network of perforated pipes buried in gravel-filled trenches. The effluent slowly seeps from these pipes into the surrounding soil, where natural processes further purify it before it reaches the groundwater. Proper functioning of the drain field is essential for safe wastewater treatment.
