Drain into septic system clogged.
My problem is as follows:
There are two four-piece bathrooms in my house. The secondary toilet (an American Standard low flush toilet) is the problem one. About a week ago, it started to bubble up when the primary toilet was flushed. Then about four days ago the toilet would not flush properly.
When I flushed the toilet it would not drain and this allowed the water in the tank to come into the bowel without the water in the bowel draining off into the septic system. It would almost overflow the toilet. If I plunged the toilet, it would drain very slowly. If I left it, it would drain over a one-hour period.
This is what I have done so far to try to resolve the problem:
1. Pumped the septic system (this was only done last year)
2. Took the toilet off it’s mount and put a snake through it. All clear.
3. Used liquid plumber down the toilet drain and let it sit over night then I flushed it through. Still clogged.
4. Checked the vents on the roof for obstructions. None found.
5. Used a compressed air system called “The One Second Plumber”. This did not work.
Last night I flushed the primary bathroom and it made coughing noises after it flushed and then we could hear loud draining and “tapping” noises in the kitchen sink. I checked the secondary toilet and the bowl was nearly empty and the water was moving in time to the noise in the kitchen sink.
Can someone tell me how to proceed from here?
