There is nothing worse than dealing with a plumbing issue, specifically when it is a septic concern.
What can make this horrible situation even more awful is having company during it.
I recently had a big group of friends over to my house when my septic system decided to act up. It started out as my backyard smelly stinky in the morning. I debated on calling for a plumber and decided not to due to my company. Everyone arrived and within a few hours my buddy told me that my toilet had overflowed and there was poo water all down my hallway. Water was coming up out of my shower drain and it was smelly and disgusting inside. I checked out the drains to see if there was a clog. I had my brother come over with his huge plumber’s snake to fix the concern. We couldn’t get it done. I ended up letting everyone go home since I had a major mess on my hands. The plumbing business wasn’t able to help me until the next morning. It was awful cleaning up my flooring, toilet, and shower but still not have the fix. Then the guy arrived the next morning and informed me that the issue was that my septic system had a huge clog. He was able to access it through a trenchless sewer line repair so there was little mess and clean up for me. The cost of this service was quite high and I had to pay extra because it was a weekend. It was still worth it though. I would have paid anything to not have a stinky, leaky bathroom.
