Septic problems or plumbing problems
I've had my septic tank pumped 3 times in 2 months thinking that would fix the problem. After our last septic pump.. I ran in the trailer and flushed the commodes and nothing.. the water just rises to the top of the lid and that's it. So there has to be a major blockage somewhere. When we absolutely have to flush our commodes, sewage comes up in our tubs but the commodes won't overflow. I've used a snake on each commode and each tub & come up clean. We bought this place 2yrs ago & have never had a problem like this. We can not find the leach lines any where in the back yard. We don't have a clean out valve so I'm going to take the one off the end of the main black pipe that the sinks and bath tubs drain into and use the snake on it.. I just hope I don't get drowned with everybody's yuk stuff! Yeah, I might be a female but that's how you learn. It's bad enough we have to replace our master bathroom floor. I had to get under the trailer & unhook the pipes so we could at least take a shower in the tub in the small bathroom so the water will run on the ground but I have to get that fixed soon before it ruins that floor. I'm digging up the sewer line that connects to the main line under the trailer to the septic tank.. Everyone's telling me to replace it but I really don't think that's the problem. My boyfriend finally confessed to me that he had been pouring hot grease down the commode in the master bathroom! What a moron! No wonder his mom put him off me! I'm also digging a trench line straight across the septic tank to see if there is any leach lines for sure. Then I'll follow them to make sure they're not damaged. Thank you for help and suggestions... Diana
