Baffle Repair. The baffle sits inside the top of the tank, and all the wastewater and tank underneath it. The baffle then keeps the solids and fats in the tank to settle to the bottom and allows the water to separate.
A broken baffle in a septic tank needs replacement because it disrupts the flow of wastewater potentially allowing solids to enter the drain field and cause clogs, premature failure, and other problems. Baffles are essential for keeping solids contained in the tank, ensuring proper treatment and preventing drain field damage.
