LaChance Brothers Inspects Inlet and Outlet Baffles to Ensure There's Proper Effluent Flow

NORTHVILLE, Mich. - Sept. 11, 2023 - PRLog -- Your septic tank should have three separate layers: a scum layer on top, a relatively clear water in the middle, and a sludge layer at the bottom. If any of these layers aren't present, we must determine the cause. Most often, one of the septic tank baffles is missing or damaged and in need of repair.

Baffles are needed for your septic tank to perform properly. Raw sewage from your home is directed by the baffle downward into the middle zone of the septic tank. This means the effluent follows a tortuous path through the tank, which provides the necessary detention time for the larger solids to settle out.
