I'm with the first guy, try emptying your septic tank if you have one. This has happend several times at my parents house and in a house that I rented and this was always the cause. It will cost about $300 (possibly less) to have to sucked dry and then you should be good to go. OR, if you don't have a septic tank, then yes, there is a problem with your main drain. I would let it up to the professionals if I were you, unless of course, you don't mind getting crap and waste water on you up to your shoulders while you work the auger while trying not to puke from the wonderful smell. Hope that a tree root hasn't crushed your exit pipe! You may also want to call your local water company (if you live in town) just to make sure they haven't done any local work that has effected your waste water drain or that there isn't a problem in the area. Good luck and I feel for you!

Sorry to inform you of this but it sounds like the main drain to your sewer/septic is clogged. Main lines are much harder to clear than an individual line. You'll need to call in Roto Rooter or some other drain cleaning company. Good luck!

is this a recent home you just moved into? if it is, it was probably the builder's fault. Just hire someone to physically rework the pipes.
This happened to me too. The hot water for my washing machine was connected to the toilet a door over when i moved into my house. The seat was quite comfortable, being heated and all, but alas- my clothes would have suffered and so my parents quickly used their warranty and had an all over inspection.

You have a clog in your main drain line. You will either need to rent an auger (not a small snake) and rod it out or call a pro. Could be roots in the main line under ground.

if your in the city you need to have your main sewer line cleared. If your on a septic you need to get tank pumped and have them check the lines for blockage.

Gross, time to call a plumber. Get some bleach too while you are at it. You do not want to be standing in rotting sewage while you shower.
