The earliest type of septic tank was known as a "cesspool" and was invented by the ancient Romans. A large stone vat was built to hold human waste.

Toilets are a common source for clogged drains. Although toilet paper is designed to disintegrate in water, a lot of other things that get put down the toilet are not (like tissues or baby wipes). Call a professional drain cleaner to get your toilet running smoothly again.
