It's just weird. You can feel and hear the water draining from the house into the main line out of the house to the tank. I opened back up the main line, no backup, had them run everything, flush the toilets, and you can watch it flow out. They ran the shower without anything backing up, but the toilet did gurgle once. Outside, vent goes to roof but not sticking out of roof, but it is below enough to get air. There's no sign of a broken line from the house to the tank. No excessive pike up, no smell, it's just weird.

Found the problem, and it is the tank needing draining. I was poking around in the yard to find the cap, and guess what?! Cap is gone, and you can see it almost to the top of the ground, the sewage. All that snow, plus a house full finished filling it up. Dog must've dug the cap off, there's a few dig spots around it. Septic company said they could drain and cap it. No more dog on the runner near it

This is the culprit. I'm thinking, and hoping, all the snow caused the Field line to not drain good we'll know in several weeks after they pump it if there's a blockage in the field linesIMG_20220119_115357056_HDR.jpgIMG_20220119_115357056_HDR.jpg

Tank is drained, but still having a drain problem. Somewhere at the point it goes into the yard, there's a clog. Those guys tried helping me, I may have to call a plumber. I've still got the cap off, and been snaking it from both ends. It'll barely drain.

You’re out in the pitch dark and cold trying to snake your septic system? Pack it in for the night!

Flushed the toilet a few times last night and this morning, and Tiffany showered this morning with no back up. Hopefully that past snaking and the bottle of crap I poured in the sink helped!
