It's not the septic tank that causes backups, it's a overloaded drain field, (filter bed) that give s you the problems. A way to check i9f the septic system id loaded up is to remove the clean out cover and cycle the washer. If the pipe fills up then you have a problem and the system needs to be checked. Good luck, tom
