    Help!! Toilet & Shower Back Up
    Ok well it started with me taking a shower this afternoon. The water was draining really slow... I didn't think too much of it. Well as time went on the toilet began to back up as well and now when we try and plunge the toilet the shower floods. Any suggestions?
