Pump out your mechanical/spetic system.
They don't have an infinite amount of space in them. That on top of all the rain seeping into the tank from the field lines is causing it to backflow into your house.
You don't want to know what happens if you let it keep filling up.
Also, it's good to dump some dry dog food down your toilets every now and then and flush it into the tank to help feed bacteria in your tank that breaks down waste. All the household chemicals you use that go into the system kills the bacteria and the dog food helps fight that.

It was probably pumped when you bought the place so the health department would issue the docs needed to close, but the recommendation is to pump them about every 4 years IIRC.

Any recommendations as to who I can get to come pump my shite on the Northshore?

Should be quite a few around Ponchatoula-Hammond area - let google be your friend - unless you have a large phone book with yellow pages. Under septic tanks.

Septic tank with drain going out to front ditch
if the heavy rains filled up the ditch, then your pipe was backed up to the house. remember, you are draining bath water, sink water, and toilet water in the same tank/pipe. once the ditch drains, the water starts to flow again. you need to get your septic tank pumped out as that's what is probably stopping it from holding it's max capacity during flooding times.
lemme guess....the one's that not draining now is closest to the septic tank, right?
