Toilet Backup

[plcg13]

I live in a slab house. It is four years old. Since we bought the house, the toilet in the second bathroom backs up on occassion. When this happens, the backup sewage comes into the tub. It also clogs the vent in the tub. I have managed to get it unclogged, but it is my concern that the system was not constructed right to start with. By the way we have had plumbers look at it and they say nothing is wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions?Thanks

Occasionaly to some people is every week, to others every month and then still others every year. If occasionaly is every two months or sooner then you can be assured that your bigger problem is underground and not in that vent pipe. What I mean is that pipe is maybe broke or have a root problem (still broke). Get the reason and then fix it. Good Luck.

Dear Michael,One big possibility is the fact that severe build-ups may be present in your drainpipes, partially clogging them.One way to solve clogged pipes would be to use Bacteria Concepts S.A.F.E. This product is formulated from bacteria and enzymes that quickly and efficiently break down and degrade organic material that hold the clog together. S.A.F.E. is non-caustic and non-corrosive, and will not even hurt your hands if accidentally spilt.After the clog is cleared, use Bacteria Concepts DB-X100 on a regular basis to keep drain lines free-flowing and choke free. Since the live bacteria in DB-X100 degrade the organics in the pipes, the source of bad odors is also removed.If you are using a septic tank system, any residual bacteria from the above products that enter the tank will complement the biological activity in your septic tank.We encourage you to contact us to order some product to solve the problem.You will also receive detailed instructions on how to use the product to solve any problems you may be facing.Bacteria Concepts manufactures the highest quality bacterial products on the market.
