Troubleshooting Corrosion in Outlet Baffles, Canton, GA

action septic tank servicec alpharetta georgiaIn Canton, GA, Action Septic Tank Service replaced the corroded outlet baffle in the existing septic tank with a sanitary tee made of PVC.

Excessive corrosion in concrete septic tanks causes the outlet baffle to erode and crumble. One possible cause is lack of ventilation. When the septic tank is improperly ventilated, sulfuric acid forms and breaks down the concrete at the baffle.

Sometimes corrosion in concrete tanks occurs even with proper ventilation. Possible reasons may include tank construction, poor concrete mix, use of water softeners and additives, and quality of well water.

Deteriorated outlet baffles lead to septic blockages and drainfield failure. Possible signs of septic failure include surfacing effluent, gurgling toilets, slow drains, foul odors, wet spots over the drainfield and patches of greener grass.
