Calling all plumbers

Something is wrong downstream. Sewer machine, sewer camera are a couple of things your plumber should bring.
The shower and tub were full of water and the toilet was full of water too, nothing was draining. All of a sudden it was like a damn was opened and everything drained all at once. I think whatever the clog was, finally broke free. Checking it with a sewer camera would still be a good idea I think.
 
if water came up in the shower/tub which are higher than the toilet wax ring
that wax ring which is at floor level let the water seep out
now to find that stoppage
do you have a clean-out on the outside next to the house
if not think about adding one like this, it sure can help snaking back toward the house without having to get on the roof or pull a fixture

I didn't think about the water level being higher than the wax ring.

I've actually been meaning to walk around outside and try to find the clean-outs, I would think there HAS to be at least one outside somewhere. I knew where it was at the old house bc I had to make sure not to hit it with the lawn mower. I've never spotted one at this house.
