plumber needed

[mesha]

The drain in the back room is backing up and flooding. It drains, just not fast enough. Let me know if you need some work.

Go buy a bottle of "thrift" drain cleaning crystals from standard plumbing supply.. ($15?) dump some hot water down the drain with them and problem solved..

Not problem solved unfortunately.

Had a plumber come over and run some crazy mechanical snake thing all the way out to the septic tank. Still backs up :-(

Well, if he's snaked it and it still wont drain, it can only be one thing..... :-\

You sure that your septic system is not just frozen? Do you have anything that is providing a constant flow of water to the system (slow trickle?) that can be a cause of freezing up on the leech side of things. You may want to do a week of doing laundry at the laundrymat, limiting water usage (if its yellow let it mellow, brown flush it down) etc. Try to only do things that will add hot water into the system and as little as possible. Also add in some extra bacteria to the system to see if you can get some exothermic reaction going in there to help warm things up a bit (hopefully your drain cleaning crystals didn't kill your current bacteria).

If I remember correctly know you had some problems earlier this year did you have your leech field replaced? is it possible you have solids in your leech field?
