We had the septic back up into the house, made a horrbile mess. Called a guy to pump it out, he did. Lines clogged. Called a plumber who was a snake himself and charged me for 2 hrs to snake one line and reset the toilet. That cured it for a day.
Now we have a basement that has a sewage ejection pump to get to the septic. If you flush downstairs and it pumps, it makes the toilets and showers upstairs bubble.
We snaked a bit of the one shower upstairs ourselves and pulled a small hairclog. Snaked the other upstairs toilet, no clog. The drains up stairs seem to be running fine, just the indication with the downstairs plumbing.
So, we pulle dthe cap on the tank again, and it is full, but not to overflowing, about 1 foot from top.
I'm thinking maybe the lines need jetting? or could our leach lines be an issue? or please if anyone can suggest anything we could check before calling these guys back out.
