It all started out we were buying the house and the neighbor told us the septic had back up so we had it pumped. After buying the home we noticed when you flushed the toliet it bubbled. Now we have been in the house for a week done some luandry and the toliet isn't wanting to drain, water back up into the bathtub and there is water puddled up out side at the cleanout. What do I need to do to fix the problem PLEASE HELP

Hey cg...sounds like you need to remove the main cleanout..confirm that the main drain line is clogged and then snake the drain line clear. Can rent a snake from any local rental store or maybe even home depot..depending on where you live. Just don't go into the septic tank.

If that does not clear the drain, the inlet teee INSIDE the septic tank may be plugged....never know. Get back to us, let us know how it goes.

What did the pumper have to say about your tank? They usually do an evaluation everytime they pump.

When they pump it he said the line coming into the tank was stop up with grease, he then ran a broom handle up the pipe and the water came out he also said the drainlines from the tank didn't have any water coming back out of them.

Ok here is a update I called a plumber had the line snaked because mine wasn't big enough, But the toliet still bubbles when we flush it can anyone help with this. Good news is it hasn't back up since.
Thanks cgreer8

Your toilet bubbles because there's still a partial blockage causing backpressure. Something's not completly cleared. call the plumber back. Good luck, Tom
