When I flush the toilet or drain the tub in my upstairs bathroom, the water overflows from the toilet drain pipe. I snaked this drain after removing the toilet, but the water is still backed up to near the top of the drain pipe. It will slowly drain, but takes hours to clear the drain. Please help!!

The partial clog Is past your where your snake reached or the house vent is clogged. A perfect snake job is all the way out to the septic tank or to the main sewer line at street. How much "snake" in distance did you do? The vent from Roof is the second thing to address

I snaked approximately 25 feet from the toilet drain down... not sure if that is far enough, I know it didn't reach the city sewer in the street, but certainly should have gone beyone the foundation of the home... also, Water on the 1st floor doesn't back up when drained, only the second floor bathroom.
