The baffle

The outlet baffle is a T-shaped pipe attached to the outlet pipe leading to your weeping field. This small component of your septic system has a very important job - it prevents sludge from entering your weeping field.

The original tank baffle is concrete or plastic. Eventually this baffle breaks down and will fall off. The baffle should be inspected every time your tank is pumped. If it is missing, a replacement baffle made of plastic piping can be installed by our technician.
