Hi, Today we started to hear gurgling in the lower level toilet, the sink and the kitchen sink.
- There is no observed problem with water draining.
- The septic tank was cleaned within the past 18 months (2 adults, 1 child in a 4BD house that I believe has a 1000gal tank)
- I thought it might be a vent issue, so I ran a 20ft snake down the vent and did not hit anything (house is a tri-level, so the vent exposure is about 2 1/2 stories up)
- Rank 20ft snake into lowest level toilet (where gurgling is heard and where it backed up enough to overflow onto the floor) and seemed to hit something but got through it
Still the gurgling is heard when the clothes washer runs and it backed up a second time.
Tomorrow, I will attempt to snake from the septic back into the house.
Is it basically a vent/blockage to the septic issue (i.e., am I on the right track)?
Thanks, Dave
