Hallelujah! Thought I'd post my final update so if anyone else has this problem, maybe this will help a bit. I ended up calling a previous owner of the home, the one who basically had it redone over 20 years ago. He had all the plumbing done and told me exactly where the sewer line was...

Septic System?? Just thought I'd give you all an update. They did the copper wire test and marked out where my sewer line should be. They started digging this morning and so far have come up with only dirt. They've dug three 6ft deep trenches in the area they said the line was and so far...

Hello all, When I flush, the toilet bowl fills and drains slowly. When the bowl is almost empty, it gurgles intermittently. If it drains rather quickly, the acid clears up the problem. This last time it drained very slowly and after the acid didn't work and after much plunging, sewage came...
