A method of operating a septic system to facilitate maintenance and avoid damage to property and/or the environment. A septic system that collects and monitors data to provide information to a user about the nature of a problem condition, or to warn a user of potential problems in advance, or to recommend courses of action to avoid costly repairs, or property damage, or damage to the environment.

An insulating disc can be easily installed and removed from inside a riser of a septic tank. The insulating disc is seated atop an opening of the tank lid and seals around the riser inner surface. The disc can include a core formed of R-10 extruded polystyrene sandwiched between two layers of high-density polyethylene. A flexible gasket can extend outward from the disc to seal against the inner surface of the riser. Retention tabs can also be provided to center and hold the disc in place. The disc can be divided into two semicircular halves that are hinged together. A hook, eyebolt and/or rope can be used to aid in removing the disc from the riser.

An ingress device assembly is configured to be used with a septic tank that has a chamber and an access opening and a riser extending from the chamber. The ingress device assembly includes a connector including a flange including a first section and a second section cooperatively defining a perimeter of the connector and an inner bore configured to align with the access opening, the first section having a first interlock feature and the second section having a second interlock feature engaged with the first interlock feature; and an ingress device removably and rotatably coupled to the connector, the ingress device including a body configured to extend across at least a portion of the access opening.

A connector for use with a riser pipe coupled to a septic tank including a chamber and an access opening to the chamber. The connector includes a body having a cylindrical portion and a flange exterior of the cylindrical portion, and the body is defined by a first section having a first interlock feature on the flange and a second section having a second interlock feature on the flange complementary to the first interlock feature. The first section and the second section are removably attachable to each other via engagement of the first interlock feature and the second interlock feature and cooperatively defining a continuous perimeter. The first section and the second section further cooperatively define a first surface configured to be coupled to the septic tank or the riser pipe.

A low-profile arch-shaped wastewater leaching chamber having asymmetric corrugations running transversely along the length of the chamber, where each corrugation has a wide section with a straight sidewall on one side, a substantially flat top portion, and a tapering downward extending curved section on the opposed side of the chamber. Each corrugation is reversed in orientation and transversely offset relative to adjacent corrugations, such that the curved tapering section of each corrugation is significantly inset from adjacent wide sections toward the center of the chamber body.
