    I am no expert, but it sounds like your main sewer line needs to be cleaned out.

    Helen may be no expert but knows the answer. Youyr main drain line is clogging downstream of these fixture and needs rodding. Do you know where there is a clean out, if not we need to pull a toilet or rod from the vent. When we talk about rodding a main drain we are talking sewer rodder, not some little coil from the hardware store

    Hello Anna I agree with Bob and Helen You have clogged drain, snake it from the roof vent, rod enough to reach from the roof to the basement floor plus 20 feet extra, good luck.
