Below is a video of a clogged inlet baffle. This homeowner called us out for a pumping and thought his septic tank needed cleaned. It did need cleaned, but for other reasons. The tank was backed up due to a clogged inlet baffle. And this advice could save you money in a case of a backup.
Just a reminder, this video is not an inspection. A true inspection will involve sludge and scum measurements, second compartment (if applicable) inspection, and outlet baffle inspection.
Once unclogged, contact your local approved septic inspection contractor for an inspection.
Thanks for reading,
