Should I be Calling Plumber or Septic Tank Company Question

3 year old house. Toilets start flushing slow so I check the cleanout last night. It's holding a little water. So this morning the water is down but it's extremely sludged.
So this is the first house I've owned with a septic tank. Clearly the issue is between the cleanout, septic tank and the ditch it drains in to. Is this a situation where I call a plumber or a septic tank company? Hoping someone here has some experience with this.
Thanks OT.

Call septic company and explain your problem and see what they suggest. A plumber will want to charge you for the advice or service call.

My mom had the plumber out this week, charged her $345 to pull 30 baby wipes out of the line.
No septic tank but watch what you flush

Septic tank probably needs to be pumped out, is your pump running?

Tank may have sunk

septic tank
Is it a septic tank or a sewerage treatment unit? If it's a septic tank, is it going to a ditch or a field line(s)? In the parish I live in (and most that I know if) local codes do not allow for a septic system to drain into a ditch. In fact, the soil in our area is such that it is difficult to pass a percolation test to allow you to put field lines in so almost all newer installations have sewerage treatment units or occasionally small oxidation ponds.
If you have a treatment unit, it may be your pump or switch. Call a plumber is my guess.
