    Plumbing issue
    Hello, I have a problem. I have toilets that are clogged, and water is coming up into my bath tubs, and shower. Can anyone tell me what this is, and is it expensive to fix? Thank you.

    If you are handy it won't cost a cent.
    You have a blockage in your drainage.
    The solution would be to snake the lavatory roof vent. You may have to rent a sewer machine to do this. Put out enough snake to reach the base and 18 feet more. Flush with a tub full of hot water. Good luck, Tom

    Cost of drain cleaning differs from location to location. But if you call an expert, I think you will spend over $100.00 for sure. See if you can work with Tom and do it yourself. It is a dirty work - but no brain surgery.
