Retrofit Your Septic System with Polylok Products

If you own an older septic system, you know the frustration of having to dig every time service is required. At Planes Precast Concrete Ltd., we’re proud to be the only supplier in the Kingston area carrying Polylok’s risers, lids, adapter rings, and safety screens—products designed for easy retrofits that are approved under the Ontario Building Code. These upgrades make septic maintenance safer, faster, and more cost-effective for both homeowners and contractors.

 

Why Retrofit with Polylok?

Risers & Adapter Rings – Access Without the Digging
Polylok risers bring your septic tank access right to ground level, eliminating repeated excavation. Adapter rings provide a secure, watertight connection between the riser and your existing tank lid. 

  • Save money on every pump-out by removing the need for digging.
  • Quick emergency access if an issue arises.
  • Durable and engineered to withstand harsh Canadian conditions.

Secure, Long-Lasting Lids
Polylok lids include gaskets that form a watertight seal, preventing surface water infiltration and controlling odors. They’re strong, lockable, and provide safety for families by preventing accidental entry. 

Safety Screens – Protecting Your Drain Field
Polylok safety screens prevent solids from leaving the tank and clogging your drain field. This simple addition helps extend the life of your system and prevents costly failures.

Benefits for Homeowners

  • Cost savings: Stop paying for excavation every time your tank needs service.
  • Property value: A modernized, accessible system is a selling feature.
  • Peace of mind: Lids and screens keep children, pets, and the environment safe.
  • System longevity: Safety screens and watertight lids protect against damage and contamination.

Benefits for Contractors

  • Efficiency: Lightweight risers and adapter rings are easy to transport and install.
  • Professional results: A clean, modern retrofit sets your work apart.
  • Upsell opportunity: Homeowners appreciate upgrades that save them money and trouble.
  • Fewer callbacks: High-quality, Ontario Building Code–approved products ensure long-term performance.
Regulations & Responsibilities
 
For anyone retrofitting or installing a septic system in Ontario, it’s important to understand the regulatory framework:
  • Ontario Building Code (OBC): Septic construction, upgrades, and retrofits must meet OBC
    standards. Polylok products are fully compliant.
  • Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP): Oversees septic systems through the Building Code Act and environmental legislation.
  • Local municipalities: Your local Township Office handles permits and site-specific requirements. Homeowners must contact the Planning Department before any installation or alteration.
  • Qualified professionals only: Designs, installations, and inspections must be carried out by licensed septic installers and designers.
  • Minimum setbacks: Septic systems must maintain regulated distances from wells, water bodies, and property lines—details available from TLTI.
