When a basin drains and causes gurgling sounds in other basins -- or the toilet, in this case -- it is usually a sign that a vent pipe is clogged or obstructed. The air being displaced in the drain pipe of the bathtub has nowhere to go if the vent is clogged and is being forced up through other drain pipes.

Sink drains fine and the toilet flushes but the bathtub fills?

I had this happen to me then eventually my toilet started overflowing the contents of my septic tank. SUCH FUN TO CLEAN!

What happens when a septic system fails How can I tell?

The drainfield is usually not functioning adequately when a septic system malfunctions. When a septic tank overflows, the effluent might overflow into the drainfield and block the pipes. This produces backups in the house's sinks and toilets. Slow draining toilets and drains, sewage odor, moist area on or near the drainfield, or tainted well water are some of the other indicators.
