major ick. The thing I was thinking was ... are your children young enough to flush one of those little Happy Meal toys, Zaphod? Not sure if it would cause bubbles, but it sure would cause a clog... Let us know what happens? On 12/20/07, Shawna Hampton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have nothing

I have nothing really practical to contribute, other than a story. We moved into our newly built house on a Saturday. Sunday evening I heard a weird gurgle when the half bath toilet flushed. Monday morning we woke up to about an inch of water on our brand new hardwood floors. Every time we ran wa

You could actually have a clog in the air vent above the toilet. If you're not getting the air flow up, you'll have problems with clogs. But, I second the idea that you should check into the roto rooter option. We have to do that about every 18 months because we have a big ol' maple tree right over

I've been trying a snake for the past 30 minutes or so, and with a 50' long snake, I can't seem to get anything. It's confusing, the shower and the tube in the same bathroom both have drains lower than the toilet, yet neither one of those backup and both contribute to the air bubbles coming up the

no, there's no chance of cross contamination. It's a bathroom sink about 3 feet away from the toilet. The air bubbles are coming from the throat of the toilet also. On 12/19/07, Adam Churvis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you have any cross-action between your septic water and your potable > w

When I flushed it was too late and that is when the stop-ups would occur. After plunging for about 10 minutes I finally got the towels into the septic tank. Lesson l
