I was called to a home for a clogged toilet. The client had been experiencing the issue for about two weeks. I arrived and found that the client had already attempted to snake the toilet, but it did not work. I suspected that the clog was in the septic tank, so I informed the client that we would need to take the septic lids off to observe the water flow to the septic tank. Upon removing the septic lids, I noticed that the septic tank was extremely full and needed to be pumped out. I recommended that the client contact a third-party septic company to pump the tank and then have us come back to ensure that the drain lines were not damaged or bellied.
