    When we flush our upstairs toilet or use our dishwasher our kitchen sink backs up wit
    When I flush the upstairs toliets or use the dishwasher it will back up into the kitchen sink with brown nasty water, and it looks like theirs paper in the water too. We just had our septic done about three weeks ago, the problem just started last week, should we check the filter of the septic, we used a snake and cleaned the drain pipes in the kitchen too.
