    Sounds like rain water is getting into the septic tank, or your drain field is clogged. I would get a septic tank expert out to advise. If the system is old, it may be time to redo the drainage field.

    Sounds like your field line needs to be replaced. It is not letting the water drain from septic tank. I had this problem. I had to replace my field line it had collapsed.

    You have a really bad issue. Before you end up with the septic coming back into your house in more than just your tank you better have someone come out and check your tank and fix the issue. It probably won't be cheap but it will save you a lot of money in home damage.
