The main different between a concrete and plastic septic tank is, yep, you guessed it—material. And although plastic septic tanks are popular and have their importance, we believe concrete is the better choice for our clients.
For starters, plastic septic tanks are lightweight and resistant to corrosion. However, because they’re lightweight, plastic septic tanks are more likely to be damaged during the installation as opposed to concrete. First point to concrete.
Secondly, concrete septic tanks have higher effluent levels than plastic tanks. Not only that, plastic septic tanks, if not installed correctly, have been known to ‘float’ to the ground’s surface. Concrete septic tanks on the other hand, because of their weightiness, will not float to the surface. Second point to concrete.
Now that we’ve compared some of the key differences between concrete and plastic septic tanks, let’s look at the key benefits of choosing concrete for your home. At Graham’s Precast Concrete Products, we choose concrete, not just because it’s part of our wheelhouse—we also believe it’s the best material to use.

The ultimate wastewater treatment solution. Septic tanks are an important asset, which is why it’s vital you invest in the right material.

Concrete septic tanks have this advantage, making them one of the most popular. Although plastic tanks may seem less expensive, they’re probably not best for the long term, and that’s why concrete septic tanks offer so many advantages, including:
