    Hi Elisa,

    You have a blockage downstream from the master bathroom. The solution would be to snake the drain line from the master bath lavatory roof vent. Put out enough cable to reach the base and about 25 foot more to get out in the main. Good luck, Tom

    If you don't want to go on the roof like Tom suggests the other options are a heck of a lot of work. You don't want to pull your toilet do you? Like Tom says, the roof vent is the best but maybe not if you have a 12/10 roof or steeper.
