    Toilet problem when using washer
    Every time I do a load of laundry, the water level in my toilets goes way down but will overflow if flushed... and water and some dirt like stuff backs up into both tub drains. Had septic cleaned but it still keeps happening? Any help?

    The toilet draining sounds like a vent problem. The tubs backing up sounds like the drainfield is not perculating. The drainfield may have failed.
