    Gurgling and bubbling when flushing the toilet
    I flush the toilet and the sinks and bathtubs bubble and gurrgle. I tried plunging the toilet closest to the septic and when I did it went down but it sent green water into the bathtub. After everything went down it seemed to work for a couple hours, now I'm in the same boat I was in earlier maybe even worse.

    I was thinking about it after posting the first question, my well pump and holding tank went a few days ago. Now I'm running off my fathers pump. This problem didn't happen before then. The water is filled with air could this have something to do with it?

    Hello tlc. It sounds like you have a partially clogged sewer drain, or the septic tank is full and you may need to have it pumped. I would have the sewer line rootered out first, if that doesn't take care of the problem then the septic system will have to be addressed.

    No! The two systems are not connected. Follow Zekes advice and first check the septic tank and if that's OK then snake the drain lines. Good luck, Tom
