Yes, it should. If the liquid level in the first settling tank has risen above the inlet, then that tank's outlet to the field or secondary tank has become plugged. Look into the end of the tank furthest away from house and see if you can see the outlet pipe and what is plugging it. Further away from this outlet, the pipe will enter a distribution box, try to find this and if water is not flowing into it, 'snake' it towards the tank.

What is an inlet baffle?
An inlet baffle is part of a septic system. It is the point at which wastewater leaves the home and goes into the septic tank.
Inlet pipe from home in a septic tank?
In the side closest to the house, about 6 to 10 inches below the top of the tank, should have an elbow pointing down which may clog and should have a small access hole or plate above it in the top of the tank. Does that help?
What is the construction of the inlet into a fiberglass septic tank?
inlet will be 100mm osma type collar to receive 100mm plastic pipe or on a commercial installation may be larger
What pressure is usually available to push liquid into the pump inlet?
The pressure available to push liquid into the pump inlet, often referred to as the "suction pressure," typically ranges from atmospheric pressure to a few psi above atmospheric, depending on the system design and conditions. In many cases, a vacuum is created to assist in drawing the liquid into the pump. Additionally, the liquid's height above the pump inlet can contribute to the pressure available, known as static head. Proper system design ensures that this pressure is sufficient to avoid cavitation and ensure optimal pump performance.
How long is the life of a septic tank?
The septic tank, is a standard concrete tank, should last forever. It's just a big concrete box with an inlet and outlet pipe that holds waste. You will have to have it pumped to remove solids when it gets full, but you shouldn't ever have to replace the tank.
Can you put a hot tub over a septic tank and inlet line?
It is not advisable to place a hot tub directly over a septic tank or its inlet line. Doing so can obstruct access for maintenance and create potential damage to the tank or line due to the weight of the hot tub. Additionally, the heat and chemicals from the hot tub water could negatively impact the septic system's function. Always consult with a professional to determine safe placement options.
What is the purpose of the inlet baffle on a septic tank and how does it contribute to the overall functioning of the system?
The purpose of the inlet baffle on a septic tank is to prevent the incoming wastewater from disturbing the settled solids in the tank. This helps in the separation of solids, liquids, and scum within the tank, allowing for proper treatment and digestion of waste. The inlet baffle also helps in directing the flow of wastewater towards the bottom of the tank, promoting efficient treatment and preventing solids from clogging the outlet.
How do you connect drain pipe to septic tank?
There is a 4" hole for the inlet near the top of every properly made septic tank. You connect the drain to this by gluing if it's a plastic pipe or by a 'Robar' joint if it's a cast iron pipe.
How do you tie into septic?
To tie into a septic system, first, ensure that all local regulations and permits are met. Begin by digging a trench from the building's plumbing to the septic tank, ensuring the pipe slopes downward for proper drainage. Connect the building's sewer line to the inlet of the septic tank using a PVC pipe, sealing all joints to prevent leaks. Finally, backfill the trench and ensure the area is properly graded to promote drainage away from the tank.

What is flash separation?
A flash separator consists of a vessel where the pressure is lower than the inlet stream. When the inlet stream enters the tank (which has a larger volume), the pressure may drop, as well as the temperature. When the pressure drops, the vapors dissolved in the liquid inlet will boil, "flash," into the vapor phase. Thus, the dissolved gases in the liquid are separated by "flashing" them.
What do you do when your septic tank is full?
Septic tanks are always full with sewage. Depending on the region you live, there may be more than one and/or more than one type of tank serving your home. If the reason for your question is that you see water pooling in your yard around the tank or drainfield (the place where your sewage water goes when working properly) you need to contact a septic tank repair/pumping company to diagnose your problem. If you are experiencing sewage backup or very slow drains in the lowest bathroom or plumbing fixture in your home, you will need to contact a plumbing contrator to determine if there is a sewer blockage between the house and septic tank inlet baffle first; if it is not blocked, follow the above paragraph. Either way, consult a professional knowledgeable of the systems of your area.
