Baffles are routinely located at the entry and exit from the tank. Baffles are important for tank function. On the entry side, the baffle forces paper and solids downward; on the effluent side, toward the leach field, the baffle prevents floating paper and oily scum from clogging the drainage pipes.
We had two aspects to our pumping project:
Steve Cosselman's Septic Pumping was recommended by our plumber in Caroga; the Canada Lake Store folks were able to help
with an initial telephone connection.
His initial working efforts at our camp were abandoned on 7/21, since finding our tank location
was too mysterious. But he owns the specific equipment
to actually pump out the tank.
Harold Anderson (standing here between father and son Cosselman) brought a
small hydraulic excavator. Excavator bucket is holding the tank cover in the picture. Mr. Anderson took a series
of tape measures, probes with metal spike, and the first gentle efforts with the excavator, then hand digging. This gave us access to the tank cover (Yee ha!)
