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 didn't back up into the bath tub, too, since its drain is lower than the rim of the toilet. Any ideas? Thank you!
