    Slow slow drain
    Thanks for the input Flying Blue Eagle. Our septic has been pumped within the last three or four years. Last fall we had a plumber out for the same problems and seems like once before that . They always snake the drain from the septic into the house. We've tried the chemicals which helped temporarily. Now we're attempting to snake from outside. Good bit of bubbling , gurgling going on when we run water in tub to see if it'll drain. Also in toilet some too. House is thirty years old if that matters.

    Lapo, you don't start a new post every time you respnd to someone like FBE. We lose the context of your plumbing problem. I have little info but want to point out a tank pumped 3-4 years ago is not insurance that the field may be saturated or shot. I'll try to find your first post.
