        I have been advised by my county inspector that “it would be advisable” to put concrete stack rings on my septic tank to make it easy to inspect. O.K. That’s fine! The rings are cheap and easy to put in. The problem I’m having is that common sense tells me that there should be some form of seal between the rings. I can’t find anywhere what type of seal this may be. Any suggestions would be very much appriciated!
        Thanks

          We used a thick black tar called sewer tight. You can use any heavy stuff that sticks, you can get water proof caulk are something like it, where you buy rings they might have some, just put it on thick so it mashes down and farms a seal to keep water out.

            japolo, I recommend the use of Tuf-Tite plastic risers over the the access holes in the septic tank. Tuf-Tite risers are gasketed, come in 6 inch lifts, and 4 different diameters.
