Septic Compass is a free service that connects homeowners with licensed local septic companies. We are not a contractor and do not perform septic work.
First rule out a full tank — that's the most common cause and needs pumping, not a plunger. A clog between the house and tank may clear with a drain snake, but clogs in the tank outlet, distribution box, or drain field need a professional. Avoid chemical drain cleaners, which harm the tank.
