The easiest way that we have found is to simply introduce a generous amount of food dye into the back of the toilet (at the tank). Allow the toilet to sit for 6 hours or over night. If the colored water in the tank works it’s way into the bowl without the toilet being flushed, that toilet is leaking.
What is a bellied line or a line with a negative fall?
This is generally a point in the drain line that had settled downward from lack of bedding at the time of installation.
What is the purpose of a septic tank?
The septic tank is to trap the biological content introduced by the occupants of the property.
Through baffling in the tank, the content is separated from the fluid and allowing the soil treatment area to see primarily liquid.
