I own a 3 bedroom home with 2 bathes. This evening I went to eh bathroom, and find that my floor is full of water! There was also water in my bathtub, which hasn't been used since Friday!I go to the other bathroom, and find the toilet full of water like mine, but no drainage on the floor or the tub... After about 45 minutes, the water did go down in both toilets and the tub to normal limits (none in the tub). I tried flushing the toilet, and the water level did not go down... no real flush... Would this be a septic tank issue (I have my own.. has not been drained in at least 6 years) or would this be more of a pipe that is clogged somewhere? I have done more laundry and washing clothes than typically.. plus we have some house guests... Do I need to call a plumber or a septic drain person? Answer needed fast! Thanks!

Hi Atv, if your saying you've not pumped your septic tank in 6 years? You won't go wrong having that done at this time. If your tank is full it could cause a plug to develop in the line so you still may need to snake your line. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
