it is more than likely that your absorption trences are not working so the effluent is not draining from the outlet of your septic tank some trenches only last 2 to 3 years if the soil is clay. or it may be the drain has been laid to flat from the toilets to the septic tank. flush the toilets and look down the inspection openings on the lid of the tank if it flows into the tank it is not your drain but the trenches on the outlet of the septic tank

ANS 2 - It's possible you have a blockage between house and first septic pit. Pull the cover and watch the inlet tube as someone flushes. If water doesn't gush right out, you definitely have a blockage between there and house. ( I'm assuming you take care of your septic system, and it it does not need to be pumped - or else a full tank will be the problem. )

What happens when a septic system fails How can I tell?

The drainfield is usually not functioning adequately when a septic system malfunctions. When a septic tank overflows, the effluent might overflow into the drainfield and block the pipes. This produces backups in the house's sinks and toilets. Slow draining toilets and drains, sewage odor, moist area on or near the drainfield, or tainted well water are some of the other indicators.

Ground toilets differ from traditional toilets in terms of installation and functionality primarily in their location and method of waste disposal. Ground toilets are installed directly into the ground, requiring excavation and plumbing connections, while traditional toilets are typically mounted above the ground on a base or platform.

Why would both toilets in the house be overflowing when flushed?

The drain pipe has a blockage somewhere downstream from where the toilets are connected to the main sewer line from the house. All the drains in a house normally connect to one main line that either goes to the city sewer system or your septic tank. If you know where the sewer line exits the house, you could check there to see if the blockage is in the yard. Most sewer blockages are caused by tree roots, broken fittings, or crushed pipes. Good Luck
