    My tiolet is bubbling and will not drain. My tubs are also filling up with
    I have two wash rooms. Two toilets. Both with no flush at all and are bubbling. Ever so often(few times a day) the tubs will begin to fill up with sewage I'm guessing. Please help.

    Locate the house cleanout, (it will be found on the same side the tank's on) and open it up. Now flush both toilets. If water comes up out of the open line then your septic tank needs to be pumped.
    If not then click on back and tell me about it. Good luck, Tom

    OK so , she(my mom) used a snake and got the toilets flushing. She went outside to find where the septic tank is and found a broken pipe. Around the pipe the ground was moist with "garbage". She took a stick and poked it and said it was "like a pimple popping". Crap went everywhere. Now when we flush the sewage is flowing from that broken pipe.

    Sounds loke it's time to call in outside help. Have the pipe repaired and check to see if the tank needs pumping. Good luck, Tom
