You Sir are a natural teacher... every part of this post was clear and understandable... no showboating, no distractions. Very much appreciated.

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.

Im a sewer contractor and very impressed the way you explained the repair of the baffle tee !!!!!
-
Had my septic tank pumped the other day, and the pvc piece going down had fallen off, and the guy pumping it acted like it wasn't a big deal, happens all the time. Just cover the holes back up. I'm glad I did some research while it's still basically empty

Wow.... Had 2 septic guys tell me the only thing I could do is replace the entire tank... I think this video just saved me 5K

Great Video! Super clear, and shows how straightforward this repair can be. Fabulous job, sir.
-
Super impressed that “one”you installed that Tee with one hand and “two” had perfect camera shots while doing the install. Well done sir!

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.

Had a septic specialist out this morning, your video made this process so understandable, great job, baffle deterioration

Master Plumber here, but not a septic expert. I bought a filtered baffle tee and did not fit because of the disintegrating baffle. Thank you for this video. I now know to break out the baffle to fit the filter on. Learning every day.

Thanks for your one handed effort man. You made it look easy. Great info.

Excellent video. You had a difficult situation with where that tank lid was and what you had to do to fix it but wow you hit it out of the park! 👍

Just by chance I found this video a few days after I got my tank pumped out and found some concrete. Now i know what it was from. Thanks

After having nothing but problems with my old concrete tank and about to tackle a new drain field you have also given me an easy how to to fix the scum layer issue. Thank you.

Buying an older home that had the septic pumped and a baffle replaced. Now we know what's going on. Thank you very much for this thorough visual and explanation. I'm certain you've helped many many folks with this YouTube Vlog. 😊

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.
-
Thank you, that was very clear, very helpful and much appreciated. Very well described.

I agree I've been a plumber for a long time but in a area where we didn't have many septic systems no I live where there are I appreciate your knowledge and showing fitting I've never seen
