    Girgling in toilet and shower when toilet is flushed
    I had a new septic tank and leach field installed in Jan of 08. In Jan 09 we begin to notice the shower drains girgling when we flushed the toilets and also noticed septic water coming up through the ground on the lower and last run of the leach field. I discovered that my underground gutter drain was busted right over the top of the leach field. I repaird about three months ago and have had no more water coming up out of the ground but the girgling is still there. Everything seems to be draining fine. Sometimes, when the clothes washing machine goes into its drain cycle, the toilets bubble. Any thoughts?
