2003 Cavco Mfg 1800sq 2b 3bed ...alternative septic..using the main toilet, once flushed...it creates a burping sound that resonates throughout the home...

my brother came to visit and states it's air in the lines...

could there be a bigger problem down the road... and how do i stop this.

Sounds like a problem with the drainage system venting. Either you don't have vents or they are clogged.

Or (very likely) the "alternative septic" isn't working well. BTW newbies rule... septic/sewer lines always have air in them. :wink:

thanks...I was on the right track...I believe it is the incorrect leveling of the original setup in 2003.
I have photo's before the stem wall...probably need to use a level on the pipes eh?

can you advise of the correct angle?

I will have a 'man'...do the investigation:wavey:
