    What should I do when one commode stops up when we have a septic system>
    We had the septic pumped last year (before the commode got stopped up). My husband used harsh chemicals to unstop it and that worked. No problems since then, but if it should stop again, what products should we use. We wondered if we should use Rid-ex monthly?
