An overfilled septic tank can cause backups in a sewer line, causing many problems in a plumbing system. If a septic tank has overflowed, it is usually clogged with excessive organic debris. A septic tank cleaner can be a good first step when treating a septic tank overflow. Septic tank cleaners contain natural bacteria and enzymes, designed to break down organic material in human waste. Excessive disposal of bleach and detergents into a septic line can kill these bacteria, preventing the breakdown of septic waste in a tank. If a septic cleaner doesn't clear a tank after a week, it may be necessary to use a professional septic tank cleaning service.
Unplug the pipe between house and septic tank first. Get flow of septic into the tank.
Toilet paper is a soft paper product (tissue paper) used to maintain personal hygiene after human defecation or urination. It differs in composition somewhat from facial tissue, and is designed to decompose in septic tanks, which some other bathroom and facial tissues do not. Most septic tank manufacturers advise against using paper products that are non-septic tank safe

Any chemical that may stop natural fermentation is not good for a septic tank. If your tank starts to smell mix yeast and sugar and flush it down the toilet. This will get it working as it should. It's like making beer or wine.
To do a septic tank cleaning you must open the tank, have means to get the waste out, and have a place to put it. This can usually be done with a septic truck which has a tube which will suction most of the waste from the tank.
