Effluent elevator system and methods of using

A method of raising the effluent level of a septic system drainfield, the method comprising:

• connecting a pathway from a septic tank, allowing effluent to enter the inlet of an effluent elevator system, the effluent elevator system defined by:
• a housing defined by:
• a closed bottom face and an opposed open top face;
• an interior;
• an inlet in communication with a source of effluent, the inlet positioned adjacent to bottom face of the housing;
• an outlet positioned adjacent to the top face of the housing;
• an insert positioned within the interior of the housing, the insert defined by open upper and lower faces and an interior passageway therebetween;
• a baffle defined by a body and a central aperture that fits around the insert, wherein the baffle is positioned within the housing interior, creating an upper compartment and a lower compartment;
• and
• an air injection port positioned on the insert in the lower compartment of the housing;
• connecting an air source to the air injection port;
• wherein the effluent travels from the lower compartment into the interior of the insert to the upper compartment to exit the housing outlet, whereby the effluent level of the drainfield has been raised.
