    Baffled: Why no back up in bath tub?

    Yes that makes sense--the lower clog caused a back up in the pipe which caused another clog in the toilet, allowing water to reach a level higher than the tub. Thanks!

    Baffled: Why no back up in bath tub?

    The toilet was backed up full and not flushing. I opened a cleanout in the main drain where it enters the septic tank; found the pipe was full of water. I cleared a clog at the entrance to the tank, the water gushed into the tank, and the toilet now flushes fine. What I don't get is why water...

    Sub pump 370' down on poly pipe?

    My 1.5 Hp sub pump is hanging on 370 feet of 1.25" galvanized pipe. It will need replacing soon, and I am interested in installing the new pump with polyethylene roll pipe and a stainless cable so that I could possibly remove it myself with a winch instead of having to employ the two guys and...
