Hey all,
Have a couple questions for anyone who knows about leaching fields/old septic tanks.
Basically I'm replacing my leaching field because it wasn't done properly (dirt clogged the lines and no gravel or lining around the pipe). But I noticed that my septic tank seems to be backwards, the inlet is lower than the outlet. Was this done on purpose for any reason, and is there a way to correct this? I cannot afford to get a new tank and I'm going to teardown and rebuild the house in 5 years or so.
Edit: I'm wondering if a baffle would work so my leach field pipes don't get clogged from the inside this time.
