Maybe you shouldn't eat so much at once, or flush twice. ;:;rofl :;:duel

One for each direction so if there is ever another problem, the plumber has an easier time finding which direction in the pipe the problem is in. The other reason is so that if there is a problem the plumber doesn't need to come in the house to do the roto-rooting

Tell your plumber to start using a GPK Products 2 Way Cleanout for this purpose.

Unpleasant to say the least, I have had my share of septic issues since moving to the current place. Started out by having the pump (yep, I have an effluent pump to get water to the drain field) take a dump in November of 2012. Cold ass day to replace the pump, and in doing so a little tiny piece of gravel got perfectly stuck in the drain hole of the riser pipe. SOB would let the line to the drain field freeze every night, and then in the daytime it would warm up enough to thaw. Took a while to figure that one out! Also had to redo the electrical to the pump as it was so corroded that the wires were literally "welded" to the outlet screws. Grrr...

Once I got all that figured out and solved, the actual drainfield failed the next summer. Thankfully, the guy who replaced it didn't charge the normal arm and a leg, got it replaced for about $3k as opposed to the $9-12k others were charging in the area.

People who complain about city sewer and water just have no idea how crappy it can be to own your own systems.

I'll take my septic system with the 3-10 year problems over paying city TAXES any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Thank You!!!

I hear ya, but by God if they came out and said they'd pipe my shit away for a mere $25 a month (whatever it is), I'd take that deal in a heart beat! Much like rural water. It's nice to have a well on your property, but it's even nicer having the house hooked up to rural water.
