Hmm....not sure if that plumber was all that wrong....interesting point you made....when the plumber 'poked it with a broom handle' and the toilets cleared. Sounds like the problem was the septic tank/field to me! It sounds like he broke through the pack on the top of the tank and let the air out. I'm surprised that part of the house purchase didn't include a septic pumpout and an assesment of the septic system. If that leechfield is shot, that's the responsibility of the previous owners, I would think. It kind of sounds like there's a blockage in there. Tanks should be pumped every two years. I do have an issue with that plumber on digging up the leechfield, though. Especially without informing you as to the why....
