I was hosting a gathering recently as well as my plumbing was a mess, someone used the lavatory as well as flushed, but minutes later water started coming into my hallway from the toilet.
My shower had dirty water in it! It was so gross as well as embarrassing; Thankfully my brother was at the gathering as well as helped myself and others look into the plumbing issue.
I thought maybe it might have been an issue with my drain line. My brother as well as I went out into the yard as well as there was no sitting water. There was no smelly smell indicating there was something wrong with the septic tank. I then tried plunging the water down the drains but nothing happened. I had my brother help myself and others look into my septic tank as well as then into my toilet drainage. I found no sort of blockage. I eventually had to dispense with the gathering since nobody could use the lavatory. My house was starting to smell as well as my boyfriend was freaking out about no water. I called for emergency plumbing services as well as the guy came right over. It was nice having a professional look at it. The issue was just a full septic tank. The guy came out the next morning as well as pumped it. I then cleaned my hallway, toilet as well as shower, after that, everything was back in business like normal. It was a total shock at how much a septic tank being full can impact my life. I will be more on top of it with plumbing related troubles… Dealing with dirty, smelly water was entirely awful.
