    The bubbles tell me that you have a partial blockage and the backed up tub tells me where.

    You have a partial blockage downstream from your tub. This can be addressed in several ways.
    1- You can pull the toilet and snake from there.
    2- You can snake from the tub overflow. If you need instructions to do this just ask, **or**
    3- If the group's wet vented you can snake from the lavatory roof vent. What's your pleasure? Tom
