Slow drains: full tank, or blocked line?
Slow drains almost always come down to one of three things — a single blocked fixture, a blockage in the main line between the house and the tank, or a tank that's simply full. Telling them apart early saves money. One slow sink is a fixture problem. Every drain in the house slowing down at once, with gurgling, points at the main line or the tank.
- One fixture slow, everything else fine — usually that fixture's own trap or branch line
- Whole house slow, toilets gurgling — main line or a full tank
- Lowest drain in the house backing up first — strong sign the problem is downstream
- Wet or unusually green ground over the leach field — stop adding water and call

Septic questions from Jaffrey
How often should a septic tank be pumped in Jaffrey?
Three to five years is the general guidance for a residential system. Households with more people, smaller tanks or a garbage disposal usually land at the shorter end of that range.
Why are all the drains in my Jaffrey home slow at once?
When every fixture slows together, the problem is normally downstream of the house — a blockage in the main line to the tank, or a tank so full that wastewater has nowhere to go. A single slow fixture is a much more local problem.
Is a gurgling toilet a septic problem?
It can be. Gurgling is air being pushed back through the water in the trap, which often means the line or the tank isn't draining freely. It's worth investigating rather than ignoring, especially if it started recently or is getting worse.
Can you clear a blockage between the house and the tank?
Yes — clearing the line between the house and the septic tank is standard work for us, and we'll confirm whether the tank itself is the real cause before anything else.
