Try this remedy:
 Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda, followed by 1/2 cup of vinegar down the drain. Let that sit for a few minutes and then pour with boiling water. Let sit for sometime and flush.



Your septic system should be used for disposing nothing other than toilet wastes and the water used for bathing, laundry, and dishwashing.


 Regular maintenance of septic tanks is essential. Let a septic professional inspect your system every one to three years.


If you feel that your septic system is failing or want advice regarding its operation and condition, contact your local health department. They will guide you with information.  It is important to verify that the septic tank service contractor is reputed and has a state permit to handle and dispose off the material.
