You Sir, just saved my Saturday and got my toilets flushing again. I am very appreciative to folks like you who put out awesome videos like this to help people. It took me about 30 mins after watching your video (and figuring out the problem) to everything draining again. Huge Thanks.
As soon as I clicked this video, I was confused because Allyn Hane the Lawn Care Nut was on the screen. I was sure I clicked on How to with Doc, but then I realized it was an advertisement. This was great. I love both of these guys.
put mine in in 1976, had it pumped in 1989, again in 2003 again in 2013, again yesterday,, at 325.00 everytime , I saved some money by not having it done every 3 yrs.
Thx for ur video! This is exactly what is going on with my toilet, it’s bubbling.. But there isn’t a white pvc pipe coming out of the ground anywhere, this house was built in late 50’s/early 60’s.. I need to wait a week before getting tank pumped out, I literally jus replaced water heater 5 days ago & my dryer jus went out... What can I do if there’s no pvc pipe?
What is the sump pump like hole in a downstairs bathroom? Not the sump pump of course but what would be an issue if that keeps overflowing when either taking a shower or running a washing machine?
So what's the protocol on a new home with a never before used septic tank? Just start using the bathroom and everything falls into place? Then have it pumped during the 3rd year?
We actually have ours done every other year and this winter its been gurgling and actually spitting water out. It even makes the noises in our bathtub. Not sure if we have a clogged drain or clogged septic.
So the pumping that you talk about doesn't have anything to do with the clog. How does adding more water to a full tank hold you over until the guy can pump the tank out?
If you take a look at his diagram again, you may notice the top layer marked scum. It is also all the fats and floatables that get flushed over time. That layer can harden enough to plug the line if the water level gets high enough. I work in a waste water plant and have a couple tanks that have skimmers to cure this issue. But not underground.
Dont forget to check your input baffle and output baffle. Also check distribution box. Main out gos to distribution box which feeds all drain field pipes evenly.
If anyone sees this a little info would be supper helpful. I live in a 2 story home. (My spelling isn’t the best btw).. The upstairs flushes fine and good. Downstairs doesn’t flush for nothing. I can’t hear any sounds, as mentioned.
I live in an apartment, so no garden hose. It is almost midnight so no plumber. My toilet has overflowed 3 times in the last 3 hours. I did all the home 'remedies, no luck. I am in a tsunami of crap. I realize that this is not a help- line, however is there anyone in Googleland that has a solution? Thank you, Thank you, in advance!!

We are getting the gurgling but we just had it pumped two weeks ago...
Home built in 1992 mines never been pumped
Had septic tank pumped 3 months ago and same problem is still happening
We just had ours pumped about 8 months ago. Now it's bubbling and burping when we take showers. Did they do it wrong? :(

Is it not a possibility it’s just a clog?

I wish you would have shown a dozen more shots of your flush out pipe.
When you say 'additives' does that include RidX. Thought it was for keeping the line to the tank clear.

My dad has never had his pumped out, built in 1963. I do mine ever 3-5 years

your channel isn't crapy
So what's the protocol on a new home with a never before used septic tank? Just start using the bathroom and everything falls into place? Then have it pumped during the 3rd year?
Read the page near the bottom. www.howtowithdoc.com/clogged-septic-tank-toilet/ No need for anything at all.
Great video! Straight to the point! Thank you!

We actually have ours done every other year and this winter its been gurgling and actually spitting water out. It even makes the noises in our bathtub. Not sure if we have a clogged drain or clogged septic.
Could be a clogged vent pipe also (Shelly)
4 second in this guys a legend
What if your shower is the one bubbling, your toilet bowl fills up and your bath is making a strange ticking noise? Please help I'm scared
Mines 40 years old and never been pumped. Why doesn't mine get clogged up?
bc you're full of shit. don't use it enough
So the pumping that you talk about doesn't have anything to do with the clog. How does adding more water to a full tank hold you over until the guy can pump the tank out?
The blockage is near the water's entrance. The hose simply pushes it clear. It will give you a few days but it's a signal.
If you take a look at his diagram again, you may notice the top layer marked scum. It is also all the fats and floatables that get flushed over time. That layer can harden enough to plug the line if the water level gets high enough.
I work in a waste water plant and have a couple tanks that have skimmers to cure this issue. But not underground.
What about in the winter let’s say for some reason it gets clogged could I blast it with warm water to loosen it up and then drain it out?
Can water draining into the septic tank ,from a portable ice maker cause the septic tank to fill up also?
Extra strong toilet paper is no longer allowed here. will plug the baffle on entry to tank.
Dont forget to check your input baffle and output baffle. Also check distribution box. Main out gos to distribution box which feeds all drain field pipes evenly.
4" batter ball on end of hose (Shelly)

Now I can unclog my toilet and not get in trouble
Thank God I don't have a septic tank. On a Happier not my PGF complete came in. Now to wait for a consistent good 4 to 5 days in a row
I don’t have a cap what to do help?!!
hopfully nothing made it to your leech field...if the tank was that full...taNgible material made it to the fingers....result..NOT GOOD.
My tank just got emptied and my first floor toilet still bubbles.
You probably got a clog in the main sewer line
