Not a plumber…

But sounds like you blew the wax ring plunging a downstream blockage. So your wet hallway came from the toilet which is a cheap fix. To know whats going on with the blockage, Id find out if someones been flushing wipes. To know for sure you’re gonna need a camera.

Good luck. Thats NO fun..

OK wasn't sure. It's not an add-on. I didn’t cut out anymore sheetrock to follow the rest of the drain line. But it was going the right direction to the toilet.

I think you're right. I was plunging away at that toilet like a madman for a minute. If the seal blew, the water could have found it's way between the tile and the concrete I bet.

Did any of the toilets,tubs,shower,sinks down stairs back up, if no then the blockage may have been between the upstairs and downstairs. I know my upstairs bath, toilet, sink uses a 3 inch line then to the main 4 inch in basement for the whole house to septic. I had a similiar problen in the 3 inch line (upstairs plugged up, toilet and shower but a 15 ft snaking cleared it out. As far as water on your first floor , it flows down so maybe it was a wax seal upstairs, hopefully not a bad pipe in the wall. I'd leave what you cleared open a couple of days , let it dry out and keep an eye on it.

If you had a bad wax ring, tile floor on a slab, the water could still travel along the slab and you would not see it.

This was all on the 1st floor. But I'm gonna do like you said and leave it for a week and see if anything still leaks.

This didn't occur to me until harrycalahan posted above, then it clicked. I think y'all are right.
