Tonight while the water softener was flushing itself out, it
overflowed. This is not the first time this has happened, so we didn't
think anything of it, we watched the water pour into the sump, then
eventually turned it off after the wall behind it started to get
drenched.

I after I turned the softener off, I turned the water back on and went
upstairs to the bathroom and heard a gurgling noise coming from the
tub drain, I flushed the toilet, and water comes out of the tub drain,
but the sink as well..I am not sure what happened in the bathroom on
the other side of the wall, or in the kitchen, but I can only assume
the same thing, for at least the other bathroom due to their
proximity. I decided it would be best to shut the water off for the
night as we have an iron filter that was ready to cycle tonight as
well.
We have lived in this house for a year and the septic tank was nearly
empty when we moved in as it had sat for a year before we moved in.

Our neighbors currently have their back yard torn up to fix their
drainage field, could this have caused our issues?? Or is this a block
in the line some where??? or could have there been bubbles in the line
from me turning the water off and on?

As I sit here and type this I hear air and pipes banging... and I am
really hoping my house does not throw up on me....

Since I am not there to view exactly what is going on, I'll take a
wild guess that it is a clogged line. I say this because you lack some
much needed info.

But, usually your septic tank is at a lower level than any of your
plumbing appliances (bath tub, toilet sink, etc.). Water will seek its
own level and take the path of least resistance in the process.

The water has to go somehwere. So, if the septic tank isn't
overflowing, there must be a blockage between the tub (which you
stated water came into) and the septic tank itself. If water isn't
flowing out of the tub (which is usually the lowest drain) the
blockage has to be after that pipe.

If the tub you refer to is on the second floor, but the downstairs
drains work good, then the blockage is between the tub drain piping
and the down stairs. See how that works?
