Hi, we bought our house six months ago, and it is on a septic tank system. Home was built in the late 1980s, and both toilets work well 99 percent of the time. We received a clear septic tank letter at the closing. But sometimes when I flush the toilets the water goes around and around and rises too high, then slowly drops back down but does not flush. Another scenario is sometimes when I flush the toilet in the master bathroom, the other toilet gurgles and bubbles on its own and the water level in the bowl drops way down.
We turned off the water to the toilets and when the local plumber came, they turned the water back on, ran the water in the sink and the tub, and successfully flushed both toilets, which worked like a charm. Then a couple of weeks later after they had been flushing like champs, it happened again. I did what the plumber did and both toilets were immediately right as rain. This is an on again off again issue. Any thoughts on what the issue might be? Don't know if it is a water pressure issue or if there is a blockage or partial blockage issue.
