    Just had it pumped out and service guy tried to scam me replacing a perfectly fine concrete baffle which was about to cost me $1,200 +.
    Thanks for the video, and I’ll share this with others.

    Wonderful. Might be simple to those who know but wonderfully helpful for those who didn't know .... like me. I have the exact same circumstance. Things answered that I was curious about were 1) OK to bust off the old concrete baffle and let it fall into the tank? (Yes) 2) cap the top of the Tee (No) 3) straight Tee or Sanitary (Sanitary 4) I didn't realize there was a wet use PVC glue (there is). thank you again this video - well done and helpful.

    Thank you so much! Your video is exactly what we needed! My son and I were going to try and "build up" the old broken concrete baffle and I'm so glad I found your video! This will be so easy as we have already removed the entire lid and can get to the 4 inch drain pipe way easier than you were able to in the video. And we can use both hands! LOL. Thanks again for helping us out and saving us a lot of time and probably a lot of frustration.

    Thanks for doing this video. This is what I will be doing today…when I bought this house, I knew it had failed the inspection, but was waiting until spring to install a whole new system. I rolled the dice on it not backing up…but came up short.
    I am hopeful that by installing this…I can buy some time until I get a chance to design and install a new system.

    • @askthepumperdude
      @askthepumperdude  4 года назад

      If the tank is structurally compromised it could need replacing. But if the outlet device is the only thing that is in need of repair, the tank would not need to be replaced.

  • @slingerslob3887
    @slingerslob3887 3 месяца назад

    Thank you! I just completed doing this after my septic man said i needed it. Had to wait a week to get the poly loc thingy in the mail. Tank wasn't close to full in a weeks time. I measured the depth on the congrete baffle to outlet and it was 20". So I made my device that to match that. Have had it pumped every 3-4 years for 20 years with no proplems until concrete baffle fell apart. Once again, Thank you so much!

    When we bought our home the spectic inspection revealed a broken T connector in the one system (there’s 2 here!) It was gonna cost me around $450 for a new one to be made but he wouldn’t install. Referred me to the guy who pumps out the tank. But now that I understand what he was talking about I might just tackle it myself

    I had a friend with a backhoe install a 500 gallon concrete tank for me 45 years ago. I live alone and don't let any grease get in the tank nor water from my clothes washer. I originally put 3 packages of Fleischmsns yeast in the tank. About 10 years ago, I looked in the tank and there was a floating crust about half inch thick and I dragged my bar along the bottom and it felt like there was about 4 or 5 inches of sediment.Added yeast again. Opened the rank recently and the crust and the sediment were gone. There was only black water that was almost clear. Added more yeast. Never had the tank pumped.

    I'm not sure if it's my baffle or my pipe, but whatever is coming through the rear of my tank has come loose, and water is seeping thought the tank into the ground. Just had my tank pumped a few months ago, but I think I'm going to have to pump it again, and do a repair similar to this, probably even replacing some pipe on the outside. Thanks for the video, and Go Blue!!!
