2000 Gallon Concrete Septic Tank Overview
Our 2000 gallon septic tank is a mid-seam style precast concrete tank designed to hold 2000 liquid gallons. Plumbers can install it by running pipes from the home drains to either of the tank’s side or middle inlets.
Pipes can also extend from areas such as the side outlet or center outlet of the tank to the leach field.
Plumber tools such as Polylok IV closed end plumbing boots are used to create tank penetrations. This achieves water tightness with flexible connection to pipes as they enter or exit the precast structure.
The A.J. Foss team manufactures and services waste water septic system tanks for home or commercial use that meet all best practice requirements of ASTM C 1227 & NPCA.

My father started the Andrew J. Foss, Inc. precast concrete company in 1963 at the age of 19. My precast education started at a very young age. He taught me everything I know about creating quality precast concrete products, from septic tanks to concrete headwalls. He also taught me to succeed in business you need to offer an exceptional product and treat your customers as you would expect to be treated. Now, as an owner of the company along with my brother Matthew, we've taken everything we've learned from our father to start the next generation of our family-owned precast concrete company.
