Most people on a septic system have no idea what their tank is made of. If your home has been around for a long time, there's a chance it might be a steel tank.
Steel rusts slowly underground, where nobody can see it, until the tank gives out and the whole system goes with it. A steel tank doesn't fail loudly. It rusts quietly year after year until the day it can't hold anymore, and that's when it fails loud, when it falls in on itself.
This system that we just replaced near Lake Redstone had an old steel tank. Kaleb, Trenten, Jon, and Tim abandoned that old tank, installed a new concrete tank, and installed a new three-bedroom mound system with drain field.
Then we put the yard back, graded smooth and seeded so it fills right in and you'd hardly know we were out there.
If your place is older and you've never checked what your tank is made of or how old it is, that's worth knowing on your terms instead of finding out the hard way on a Sunday when you're mowing your yard and suddenly you drop into your septic tank because the top gives out.
Trust. Quality. Comfort.
