The washer, kitchen sinks, toilet... everything is draining into the tub & sitting there. We had used 2 bottles of Liguid Plumber, no help. We just removed the toilet, the standing tub water flowed out of the toilet hole! We auged in the hole with little to no resistance & pulled nothing up! What the hell else can we do!? We have no money so a professional isn't an option. This is really icing on the 'MY LIFE SUCKS RIGHT NOW' cake!! Please help!!

Did you REALLY think they would work like in the TV ads?
OK! If you have standing water in the toilet drain then you have a blockage downstream from it and the tub.
City sewer or septic tank. Locate and open up the house clean out. Is there standing water there? For this blockage you'll need to rent a sewer snake not just a auger. Let me know what you find after you open up the cleanout. Good luck, Tom

I'm assuming you mean the plastic over flow pipe entrances located outside? Those appear to be free & clear. Nothing over flowing or standing as far as I can tell. If you mean something else you'll have to describe! It is City sewage.

I was trying to determine the best place to start snaking and it looks like the toilet hole's the best place. Put out enough snake until the water goes away. Good luck, Tom

If the outside cleanout is open and the toilet hole backs up, auger through the toilet, the blockage is somewhere between the toilet and the outside cleanout. You did prove some Physics-Water seeks to attain it's own level!
