My tube drain is backed up, when I flush the toilet, water and sewage bubbles up from the tub. Plus toilet wants to flow over and when I did laundry I noticed the drain pipe where washer drain hose hangs was flowing over on the garage floor. When I wasn't using any of the water and toilet for like a few hours, everything was flowing fine it seemed. Then I took a shower and the problem was back. Please advise Thanks!

Sounds like your main drain is plugged, do you know here there is a clean out cap, maybe in the basement? You will need to rod the main but first tell us if you have a clean out and where.

Sounds like you have a blockage in the main sewer line running out of the house. Look for sewer clean out from the house main sewer line going to street or septic tank.

Snake out the main sewer line from the house out.

Check main vent line also it could need snaked out too.

If that doesn't solve the problem and you have a drain field, Pump out the septic tank. When its pumped out run a hose in the discharge pipe of the tank to drain field. If that backs up then it's the drain field.

There's not a lot left after that. Hopefully its just a clog on the main from house to out side sewer line.
