I'll 2nd the roots diagnosis.  Sounds like something clogging the main line between the house & tank.  The 3" PVC line out of my place is only about 4" underground.  There was a hole cut in it;  like a roto-tiller or some power equipment during construction??  Nearby tree found it and was going crazy on the free snack.
