Well 'it was raining so hard my front yard turned into a lake as in a inch of water over the top of the front yard. It may have been the use of the tub,washer, and other water usage in the house running to the tank probably had no where to go. The shower is the lowest outlet in the house and guess it took that rout being with all the water in the yard it may have back flowed through the drain field and filled the tank. The first two days the rain came down in buckets and the front and back yard are completely flat with no way for the water to run off. At the time I didn't know anything about a septic tank guess it got me to start reading about it.
I found when the septic water backs up like it did the tank is past due for pumping and there's big problems, or a heavy rain which will take a few days after the rain for everything to start working correctly again. The back up was a gr8 thing getting me to read up on it. I had no idea of needing to flush bacteria down the drain every few months, and not to use bleach
Ill schedule the pumping company on a Saturday do I can be there to scream at them :)
