    Bubbling from my toilet
    Hi,
    Well here is my question and I hope the news is good and its not a big problem or an expensive one. When I take a shower my toilet bubbles and also the sink in my bathroom has water coming up from the drain. Also when I do laundry my toilet bubbles then too. I have a septic tank I didn't know if you needed to know that. I also have 2 bathrooms and it happens in both. My husband and I just bought the house and we just started using our sprinkler system and we thought that was making air in the lines but both of us are not plumbers so were just guessing. Any advise would really help.
    Thanks April

    Have the line snaked, hopefully you only have a clog. Otherwise your leech field may need replacing

    I have a 2 year old house and have been getting bubbles in my toilet and yesterday it overflowed while my two upstairs showers were being used. The water kept on rising even after I shut the water off.

    We were told by companies that pump out septic systems that new septic systems have filters or screens that need to be cleaned often and that it's probably clogged. We have never gotten our system pumped out yet so we're opting to empty it and have them wash out the filters. We also noticed our grass getting brown above the septic area.

    I came to this site to see if I can learn more so I'm not knowledgeble about this subject but I'd get more than one opinion before spending a lot of money. Good luck

    Before you spend lots of money, have the line camera put in the drain lines.
