: Either you main drain from under your house to the sewer is blocked or you are on a septic tank system and the septic needs to be pumped or the drain from your house is blocked.
: When you use water it will come up at the lowest point - the toilet seals or the tub/shower drain.
: Believe me - your drains are blocked!

: : Water continues to bubble up from under the toilets in our two bathrooms causing lakes. Water will then begin to come-up from the drains in the shower and bathtub. This especially happens when any appliance is being used and someone takes a shower. Sometimes the water in the toilet bowls is gone in the mornings. Sometimes there is water on the floor and sometimes there isn't. We have used a snake to clear the lines and they don't seem blocked. Sometimes when washing clothes after the third wash the bathrooms will flood. Last night they flooded and no one was showering, using machines, or any water. Someone suggested the wax rings may need to be replaced but I think there may be another problem as well.
