I purchased a 17 yr old house in 96. We had no problems with the septic system until september of 98. it backed up into the house. we had it pumped. it was in winter. when the men were doing it they had to use a hoe to crack through something. they kept banging and banging into the opening of the septic opening until they broke through and finally pumped it out. A few months later i notice when i flushed the toilet, showered or did laundry water would bubble out of the top of it. I though it needed pumping again and so did it. now,no matter what we do all our in house water comes out. Could something had been busted during the first pumping, when they were trying to break through? I don't put anything down the toilet (no paper, feminie products, nothing0 since the first pumping. i even called the local enviromental people(theyl never got back to me to se if i had a leak somewhere).If i have to put new field lines in how expensive will it be? I'm hoping it is nothing serious, please help as soon as possible.

I live in a home built in the late 50's. Looks like most of the work was done by owner or a friend. I have 2 toilets on upper level (1 was just replaced with new) and 1 toilet on main floor. Every toilet will clog which leads me to believe there is a major clog somewhere else. We currently use a plunger, which works until the next time someone uses the toilet. We also have severe stains where the water line is in the toilet. I have tried everything I know of to get rid of these "rings" but to no avail. I don't know what to do about the toilets or rings. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.
