I have a single level home on slab in Ventura County Ca. It's a ~1963 built 2 bathroom layout that's a mirror of each other (back to back)
Outside of house access hole ~4 feet from the ground*

Yesterday the shower stall started filling up with water and would not drain.
*I tried snaking through this access hole with motorized 25' x 5/16" cable but this didn't seem do anything to relieve the backed up water that was in both the tub and shower stall. Eventually what seemed to be earth (topsoil color) appeared in both the tub and the shower stall.
However both toilets are able to flush without any restriction whatsoever.
So it seems that the toilets drain to the main line separately from the tub/shower. I don't understand if this is correct or not and would like to know/understand how this works.
Thank you
Greg
