I have a simple septic system in my log cabin. A kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower, and toilet. It had about 3 feet of exposed 4" PVC drain leading to the septic system that the previous owner had patched a leak with some sort of caulk type substance, which actually worked ok to this point. This past week, my new dog chewed through the caulk/sealant and exposed a 1/2 gap. I bought a coupling and repaired the septic line properly. However, since then my toilet will not flush and bubbles when Either the sink or shower runs. Since everything was functioning well before, I assume I have introduced some sort of positive pressure in to the system. There is a single vent stack for the drain line.
I work in home repair & renovations, but plumbing has always been an area I have avoided. It's not a simple task getting a professional out to my cabin since it is pretty remote. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how i can relieve the pressure in the system, or is this a more serious matter?
Thanks in advance!
