Sounds like your drain is clogged somwhere past the point where your toilet and tub drainpipes join.
Your going to probably need a drain auger. They are about $20 for a manual one, its a long flexable metal wire that coils up into a plastic cone, you feed it into the toilet and turn the handle at the back to twist the wire around until you catch the clog and can pull it out or break it up. It's not a clean job, so get gloves (an extra set of hands can be helpful, too, to help feed the wire). If the bend in the toilet gives you trouble, you may also go through the tub drain, which may have less bends, even though it is smaller.
Good luck. If things get really bad, call another plumber and pay them to fix it (or if your really really broke, get some kitty litter and an empty 5 gallon bucket to hold you over until your plumber friend gets back. :-P )

in fact you are able to not restoration this with no plumber. in case you very own the domicile, call a qualified plumber in to evaluate the drains and plumbing vents on your bathing room. ideally, the lavatory and tub are routed in this style of style that there is sufficient grade in the piping to maintain decrease back flush from happening. Sound on the different hand in many cases is using a complication-unfastened plumbing vent between the tub and the lavatory that we could air replace the water being flushed down the drains. If it particularly bothers you, your community plumber can open the flooring and partitions and re-pipe.

Problem is that the pipes are clogged not the toilet. You will need someone to open the main trap and use that machine to clear out the large drain pipes. It will be cheaper to hire a stranger (not neighbor) to clean the pipes out than to keep throwing out carpets and things ruined by the backups.

It sounds like you have a very nasty clog in your pipes somewhere, perhaps even tree roots trying to grow in it. I ran into a similar problem some years ago. Get a plumber again, and see about a more thorough check of your lines.

Good luck!

You have roots in your sewer pipes, you need to call roto rooter or another professional to clean them out, you will need to replace the sewer pipes because eventually the roots will grow back and it will be a continuous problem..Good luck
