I recently bought a house about 3 weeks ago. I noticed that occasionally the basement toilet would gurgle, but didn't pay much attention to it. I had a housewarming party the other day and the basement toilet flooded over. We put a sign up saying out of order, and continued to use the toilet on the main floor (which is right above the basement one).
Well, I was then notified that everytime someone flushed that toilet, it would back up downstairs, overflowing again. I've snaked both toilets with no results at all. The basement toilet will empty very slowly, but eventually.
It will even back up if I use the sinks in either bathroom, or the biggest problem I've had, with the shower in the main floor bathroom.
I have a plumber coming in the morning, but I would love to be able to fix it myself before he has a chance to get here. However, with what I have found searching around, Theres very little I will be able to do
Any ideas?
