Shitty night, take two

Well turns out that wasn't the end of our sewer problems. We think that originally it was just a clogged line from Curtis using too much tp but then when Brian snaked it the wet tp got lodged in the pipe going out to the septic and froze there with our -30 plus nights.

When Brian did laundry the water came back up into the bathroom, which Curtis found when he went in and went pee. We didn't think that big of a deal of it because the toilet wasn't on tight yet and we had no other water coming up anywhere. Oh boy where we wrong. A few days later we found 3-4 pieces of the ceiling in the basement bedroom, aka momma’s book room, had fallen down. The water from the bathroom had gone down in the vent into the ceiling.

So the next thing we were thinking was that our septic needed to be pumped. Again not the case but we didn't know this till they were already out here to pump it. $425 later they told us that they think the line was frozen. It took Brian and his dad two different tries but they finally got it unclogged. Now this summer Brian will have to go under the porch and try to insulate around the pipe to prevent this from happening again.

Guess at least we now know where our septic is and where not to put the pool this summer J Sure glad that is over with, even though I’m still waiting for the toilets or showers to back up again.
