On-Site Septic Baffle Installation

In Roswell, GA, Action Septic Tank Service installed an inlet baffle inside a homeowner’s septic tank. Having no inlet baffle in the existing tank caused a problematic septic backup.

A septic tank has an inlet baffle and an outlet baffle. The inlet baffle directs flow from the house sewer down into the septic tank to create a longer detention time for the sewage to allow the settling of solids. It also keeps the scum level from plugging the inlet pipe.

There are two types of baffles: wall baffles and sanitary tees. Action Septic Tank Service strongly recommends using sanitary tees, made of PVC piping. They are less likely to have plugging problems and will not deteriorate.

Baffles must be properly connected. They should be attached so they remain in place over the lifetime of the tank and should be accessible for septic inspections, repairs and replacement.
